The innovative eacy feed vibratory bowl feeder offers ideal requirements for the sustainable production of tomorrow: With growing environmental awareness and rising energy costs, increasing efficiency and saving energy is becoming increasingly important for companies. DEPRAG meets this demand for efficiency and sustainability with this innovative solution. Through the clever and efficient use of physical effects, energy savings of approx. 80% can be achieved with this feeder.
When the vibratory bowl feeder is used in conjunction with the controller and operating unit DPU (DEPRAG Processing Unit), it fulfills another requirement of the industry: communication capability in the sense of Industry 4.0 and Smart Factory. By using TCP/IP network protocols, access to the network of the spiral conveyor is possible from anywhere in the world. As soon as a connection is established with the communication-enabled feeder via smartphone, tablet or computer, all settings can be displayed and parameterized directly. For example, the operator can change frequency and amplitude settings on their smartphone and thus ensure the function of the feeder from anywhere.
The vibratory bowl feeder is available in three filling sizes: 0.15 l, 0.75 l and 2.5 l - with both single and double spirals.

Definition of vibratory bowl feeders
Vibratory bowl feeders are vibrator drives for vertical conveying of bulk material or transported material. Small to medium-sized bulk materials are conveyed. In addition to transportation, they are often used to sort small parts (such as screws, nuts, pins, O-rings, electronic parts or other small parts) or to provide them in the correct position for further processing automatically.
Vibratory bowl feeder eacy feed function
The drive of this feeder works with 24-volt vibratory magnets, which leads to a significant reduction in maximum power consumption. Thanks to the 24-volt technology, the bowl feeder can operate trouble-free even with a poor mains supply and is not dependent on mains voltage and mains frequency. Worldwide insertion is made possible by/through the use of a wide-voltage power supply unit, which eliminates the need for different power supplies. This saves the customer costs and time, as country-specific designs and adaptations are no longer necessary.
In contrast to conventional systems, in which the feeding speed depends on the filling volume in the vibratory bowl, the innovative bowl feeder relies on an integrated transducer. This records the vibration amplitude in the vibratory bowl and enables adaptive and load-dependent control of the feeder. As a result, the screw is always ready for processing with consistent reliability.
The vibratory bowl feeder offers a customizable feeding rate thanks to its twelve different waveforms. You can adjust the amplitude or frequency in just a few hand-held settings to make individual adjustments. For example, you can optimize the feed rate or reduce the volume of the feeder. These adjustments are made quickly and without any mechanical interventions. With the eacy feed vibratory bowl feeder, you can easily select the desired settings via the DPU. If you use the spiral conveyor manually, you can also adjust settings directly via the corresponding controller.
Application areas of the spiral conveyor
This feeder can be used in automated assembly systems as well as in manual operation with hand-held screwdrivers. This makes it versatile and enables reliable feeding of parts in various production environments.
