Feeding technology comparison – the optimal solution for your component

Customised feeding systems for maximum efficiency and process reliability

Every application requires the right solution. As specialists in feeding technology, we offer a range of technologies for feeding components in an economical, compact and reliable manner – precisely tailored to the geometry, material and cycle time.


Vibratory bowl feeders – proven and cost-effective

Vibrating bowl feeders are a cost-effective standard solution.

  • Compact design
  • Milled from polyamide
  • Individual baffles for position orientation
  • Ideal for small, robust components

This technique is particularly suitable for high quantities with clearly defined component geometries.


Scoop feeders – particularly compact for screws and small parts

Scoop feeders are a space-saving alternative for screws and similar components.

  • Even more compact than vibratory bowl feeders
  • Pneumatically driven cylinder
  • Scooping process directly in the storage system
  • Low maintenance and energy efficient

The solution for applications with limited installation space and clearly structured parts.


Step feeders – gentle on sensitive components

For long or sensitive components that would require large feed hoppers, step feeders are the ideal choice.

  • Gentle feeding
  • Suitable for sensitive surfaces
  • Efficient with elongated components

Perfect for components with special requirements in terms of material and handling.


Anyfeeder – maximum flexibility thanks to camera and robotics

The most flexible solution is the Anyfeeder.

  • Camera recognition of components
  • Robot-based removal
  • Flexible conversion for product changes
  • Ideal for variant production

Here, components are visually identified, picked up by the robot and transferred precisely to the desired installation location – ideal for modern, flexible production lines.
