Bulk feeders provide extra part storage and serve as a bulk delivery system to maintain the proper level of parts in the part feeder. Since each application has its own special requirements in terms of the parts, the required storage capacity, floor space limitations, discharge heights, load heights, and feed rates; POSI offers a wide range of bulk feeders to meet your needs. Pan Feeder Hopper The Pan Feeder Hopper is our most popular bulk feeder.  The Pan Feeder Hopper combines a hopper, a vibratory pan feeder, and a level control sensor in a single unit.  Parts are gravity fed from the bin onto the pan feeder.  When the level of parts in the orienting feeder falls below a preset level, the level sensor turns the pan feeder on replenishing the parts in the orienting feeder. These units are available in mild steel or stainless steel with hopper capacities of 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 3, and 5 cubic feet.  Dimensional information is provided in the table below.  Pan Feeder Hopper

Offset Supply Hopper

The Offset Supply Hopper is a straight walled storage bin, with a sloped bottom, mounted on a vertical column.  A vibrator mounted under the sloped bottom gently agitates the parts causing them to feed onto the adjustable chute and ultimately into the orienting feeder.  A level control sensor monitors the level of parts in the orienting feeder and turns the vibrator on and off to maintain the desired level of parts in the feeder bowl.

Offset Supply Hoppers are available in mild steel or stainless steel with hopper capacities of 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 cubic feet.  Dimensional information is provided in the table below.
