Specialty Feeder Systems for Fasteners & Hardware

Powell Systems provides advanced specialty feeding solutions, including custom lift truck rotators and integrated vibration feeding hardware. Through distribution partnerships, including Skako Vibration hardware products, we supply advanced feeding machinery engineered to handle interlocking and heavy-duty parts across industrial manufacturing lines.

Feeder companies are equipment designers and manufacturers that produce machinery to automate the movement, orientation, and bulk delivery of parts. These companies build custom workstations, gravity feed containers, dumpers, and vibratory feeders that integrate into broader packaging, processing, and assembly workflows.

A feeder system is an integrated setup combining storage, dumping, and metered feeding components to present parts consistently to downstream machinery. Systems often incorporate gravity feed containers, lift tippers, and vibration feeders designed to feed difficult, interlocking hardware gently into weigh-count fillers or production tools.

Difficult-to-feed or interlocking hardware components are handled using systems with open designs and gentle vibration feeding. Units such as Skako Vibration Feeders provide smooth component movement without jamming, integrating directly with weigh-count fillers for precise batching and hardware packaging.

Yes, custom specialty feeders like Flow-Mation are custom designed and integrated directly with customer production equipment. They support workflows across various secondary operations, including plating, parts washing, inspecting, thread rolling, and packaging workstations.

Bulk loading can be accomplished using lift tippers, lift truck rotators, dumpers, and custom-engineered gravity feed containers. These components ensure safe handling and steady loading of high-volume hardware, stampings, forgings, and fasteners into automated processing stations.
