Spring Feeder Systems
Spring Feeder Systems
The automatic spring feeding systems is designed to detangle intertwined springs in order to use an oriented spring directly to an assembly point on demand in the next process or to dispense the springs for the next device respectively.
The spring separator is often used together with a bowl feeder or a hopper to store and then feed the springs to the separator, which then feeds the detangled springs to another bowl feeder for sorting.
MULTIFEED designed spring feeder systems can deliver oriented springs to up to six separate assembly points independently, on demand anywhere within a radius of 12 feet (4 meters).
Our spring feeder systems can be equipped with optional spring pick point escapements for assisted manual assembly applications.
Custom air flow is used to separate and deliver springs in these Spring Feeder Systems.

Features of this springs feeding system
A horizontal hopper is filled homogeneously. From here, a controlled amount of springs runs over a gate and into the vibratory bowl feeder underneath. Then, the springs are first transported upward over the spirals where they are pre sorted, and finally reach the spring separator arranged in parallel over a “bypass”.
The separator throws the springs one by one in free flight as bulk material onto the final sorting line of the vibratory bowl feeder. In order to avoid the further transport of springs completely caught up in one another and showing the dimension of one single spring, they are then directly feed in the linear track or air tubing.
