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. | Cap Diameters | 1/2" to 5" | | Cap Heights | Varies | | Integrated with | Gravity Track, C-Track, Conveyors, Assembly Equipment, etc. | | Speeds | Up to 400ppm | | Cap Type | Round, Oval, Rectangular | | Market Segments | Pharmaceutical, Household, Beverage, Personal Care | | Part Specifications | Small to Large Parts, including: caps, cups, containers, lids, bottles, wrapped foods, etc. |

The E-Beam system eliminates the concern of chemical residual on PET bottles, as found using alternative H2O2 or PAA sterilization methods; and also provides a safe, economical, smaller footprint and environmental friendly alternative for sterilization.
The Shibuya Kogyo E-Beam Sterilization system is designed to eliminate microorganisms on all surfaces of PET bottles through irradiation with a beam of high-energy electrons. The injection of accelerated electrons onto the PET bottles has provided highly reliable and effective sterilization results. Using an electron beam as a sterilization tool, the E-Beam Aseptic Filling system enables Shibuya to help move towards environmental sustainability by using less space, eliminating use of water and making efficient use of required power.This E-Beam Sterilization system along with the proven quality of the Shibuya Aseptic Filling and Capping systems, makes the Shibuya Kogyo E-Beam Aseptic Filling System an integrated one-stop solution to your filling needs.

Back to top 07/02/08 Shibuya Hoppmann's Safety New Covers Standard on Centrifugal FeedersShibuya Hoppmann's New Centrifugal Feeder Safety Covers  | The movable hinged machine guards must be closed in order to operate the feeder. Additionally, opening the cover during operation will stop the equipment - and restart is not possible while the covers remain open. The hinges are also designed with gas springs - holding the covers in an "up" position and reducing the perceived weight of the individual covers. These springs, combined with the tamper-resistant design of the hinges and positive opening NC contacts, provide a much higher level of safety than proximity switches or other spring-driven limit switches. These interlock switches also allow for wide guard opening - up to 180°! |
With this new standard, Shibuya Hoppmann reinforces our commitment to the highest customer safety! For more information regarding our covers, or to order covers for your existing equipment, contact: Chad Roberts
