     Title: Prefeeder/Feeder Combo System
Shibuya Hoppmann introduces the Prefeeder/Feeder combination system, a merger of two efficient, proven technologies into a single footprint that simplifies the process for loading, singulating and orienting parts.

The prefeeding unit, atop a centrifugal feeder, is specially designed to handle a wide variety of parts, including those of a fragile nature. Two independent variable speed drives help ensure gentle product metering. The product drops down from the upper belt to the lower belt, where it is pulled away at a faster rate, assisting in part separation and de-tangling.

The centrifugal feeder combines a rigid center disc and rim drive system, which provides a tight-gap operating tolerance between the bowl and disc. This configuration is ideally suited to efficiently feed and orient parts of many shapes and sizes.
