What is it for?
Feeding bowls are designed to contain the different parts which are inserted randomly. They are joined firmly to the vibrating ‘motor’ underneath.
All the different models, from the 160 mm diameter to the 1000 mm diameter, contain a spiral shaped track, starting from the bottom area and ending at the top.
The orienting of the parts can take place by means of different methods and it requires experience, professional skills and talent.
In order to choose structure and materials for the most suitable bowl, different factors must be taken into consideration on the basis of the parts to be oriented.
In GascoGroup we can decide, even only from drawings or images of the parts, which is the right bowl for your machinery.

How and why choose it?
Cylindrical bowls have a smaller diameter compared to the drive unit. This is particularly useful in case of parts with complex structures or wherever high productivity is needed.
Despite above mentioned advantages, there are some critical points to be taken into consideration: a limited loading capacity with possible entanglements in the coils.
All this can be avoided by means of automated loading systems (hoppers, vibratory tanks, vertical loaders, etc). They are ideal for small parts, screws, fragile items and a frequency higher than 100 parts/minute. Special versions with 2/3-way coils or tracks and relevant undertrack are possible.

Technical features
Materials and customising
All our standard bowls are manufactured in AISI 304 stainless steel, but they can also be in AISI 316, manganese steel or with screwed tracks in C75 steel.
The standard finishing consists of an internal and external micro shot-blasting, but also manual polishing or certified electropolishing can be performed.
Internal coatings may also vary, these can be both glued or sprayed coatings with wear-resistant, sound-resistant and oil-proof materials.
With regards to food or medical fields the tracks can be seam welded. The bowls can be manufactured in dedicated and special sizes (external diameter, coil width and pitch).
They can also be modified to be used on other brands drive units.
