Syntron® Orienting & Elevating Feeder
The Syntron® Orienting and Elevating Feeder (OEF) is built to handle a wide range of round, lightweight parts such as caps, lids and plastic discs.
Homer City Automation's OEF is designed to draw parts from its hopper via a cleated belt. Parts rest on these cleats and advance to a vertical elevator section where orientation occurs. Parts with their heavy side toward the belt remain on the cleat. A cam bar and/or air jet directs the part through an external side discharge chute onto their next destination. All other parts over-balance and fall off the cleat, back into the belt elevator hopper.
A variable speed DC motor with slip clutch arrangement drives the elevator conveyor. In addition, the Syntron® Orienting and Elevating Feeder comes complete with a control, wired for 115 volt, 60 cycle, single phase AC power supply, and optional voltages available on request.
