Shinko EA-30 Vibratory Bowl Feeder

The Shinko EA-30 Vibratory Bowl Feeder is a compact, high-capacity part feeder that pairs an 18-inch diameter bowl with a robust drive unit to deliver reliable part presentation for automated assembly lines. The unprocessed bowl diameter is 300 mm, with support for cylindrical bowls up to 500 mm in diameter, enabling reliable handling of a wide range of small components. The drive unit has an outer diameter of 310 mm and stands about 220 mm tall, weighing 48 kg, and is mounted on vibro-isolating rubber mounts to reduce vibration transmission to the surrounding equipment. Electrical specifications are 200 V and 2.0 A. The system is rated to handle a maximum loaded weight of 12.5 kg and provides a maximum bowl amplitude of 0.8 mm at the bowl periphery, enabling consistent flow into the feeding track. The EA-30 is part of the EA-series, designed for feeding small to medium-sized components with orientation control, and is suitable for integration with downstream equipment such as conveyors, pick-and-place machines, or inspection stations. In practice, it serves as a reliable first stage in automated feeding for electronics and precision manufacturing environments, where stable, repeatable part presentation is essential.
