From randomly presented parts to a consistent teeth-side-up orientation.

This vibratory feeder bowl was engineered to feed cable connector housings at the customer-requested rate of 14 parts per minute.

Custom tooling progressively orients the housings as they travel through the bowl, with multiple selection stages allowing correctly oriented parts to continue toward the discharge.

Take a look at the process from bulk feeding through final presentation.

What makes an automation system valuable over the long term?

It goes beyond how the equipment performs when it's first installed.

Quality design and components matter, but so do flexibility, maintainability, and the support available throughout the life of the system. Equipment may need to accommodate new products, changeovers, evolving production requirements, replacement parts, upgrades, and changing plant layouts over time.

Those are all considerations that can influence the lifetime value of an automation investment.

Today we're celebrating some very important members of the extended Hoosier Feeder family. 🐶

In honor of International Dog Day, our team shared photos of the dogs waiting for them at home each day. There were too many good ones not to share!

Swipe through to meet them, and feel free to add a photo of your own four-legged family member in the comments.

Happy International Dog Day! 🐾

We had a lot to celebrate with the Shibuya Hoppmann team! 🏆🍕

Hoosier Feeder has been named Shibuya Hoppmann Corporation's 2026 Dealer of the Year, marking the 10th time we've received this recognition during our partnership.

Their team joined us to present the award and treated our entire crew to a pizza lunch to celebrate the milestone together.

We're grateful for a partnership that has grown over the years and for the people on both teams who continue to make it successful. And, of course, thank you to everyone at Hoosier Feeder whose hard work helped bring home number 10!

Thank you, Shibuya Hoppmann, for the recognition, the lunch, and a great afternoon celebrating together.

This application required RH bodies to be consistently oriented and presented across two lanes at a combined rate of 40 parts per minute.

Our team engineered an 18" vibratory feeder bowl with custom tooling that progressively rotates the parts into position before final selection and confinement.

From there, the parts discharge onto a dual steel-track inline at 20 parts per minute per lane, providing the presentation required by the customer's downstream equipment.

Take a look at the complete orientation process in action.

Choosing the right feeding solution starts well before we decide what the equipment will look like.

Our engineers first need to understand the part, production requirements, and how the downstream process needs to receive it. Feed rate, orientation, changeover requirements, part variations, spacing, and timing can all influence the approach.

Understanding those details helps us engineer a system around the application and the role it needs to play in the larger automation process.

Swipe through for a look at some of the questions that help guide that process.

Another round of Can We Feed It? and this time, mini candy bars are taking a trip through the feeder. 🍫

We'll take this one as a yes!

What should we try next?

Application objective: consistently feed and orient copper sizers at 20 parts per minute.

For this application, our team engineered three 24" vibratory feeder bowls around the customer's part and downstream automation requirements. This video shows one of those bowls in operation.

As the copper sizers travel through the bowl, custom tooling progressively brings them into the required orientation. Before discharge, a selector window removes any parts that remain misoriented, allowing properly oriented parts to continue downstream.

The system also incorporates diamond belt lining, dirt chutes for chips, and a photocell shut-off.

The progression from bulk parts to final orientation is a good example of how bowl tooling is engineered around the behavior of the part.

Right part. Right position. Right time.

A successful parts feeding system doesn't just move parts. It has to deliver them in the position, orientation, and sequence required by the next step in the automation process.

Conveyors, escapements, placement mechanisms, indexing devices, and custom tooling can all play a role in making that happen.

Take a look at a few of the different ways we control part presentation for downstream automation.

The resources for your system shouldn't be difficult to find when you need them.

Every Hoosier Feeder system includes a job-specific QR code that provides quick access to its electronic manual, service and maintenance information, changeover instructions, relevant partnering manuals, an overview video showing the system running properly, and additional helpful resources.

It's one of the ways we make system support part of the equipment we deliver - not an afterthought.
