Manufacturing custom vibratory feeders for medical parts and clean room environments requires an understanding of the strict guidelines that must be met to gain FDA approval.

At Accu-Tech Automation, we understand that all custom vibratory feeders must meet very strict guidelines for tolerances and other manufacturing concerns, no matter what type part is being handled, or what agency might need to approve its operational specifications. In our 25 years of manufacturing custom vibratory feeders, we have become adept at adhering to the standards required by our customers' manufacturing and regulatory specs.

Accu-Tech's experience designing and building vibratory feeders that meet strict medical device standards will be applied to your vibratory feeders, no matter what the application or technical requirements.

Vibratory Feeders Designed For Syringe Plungers

The vibratory feeder bowl and system shown on this page were custom manufactured to feed syringe plungers at a rate of 100 parts per minute. To meet FDA approval, the parts can only touch surfaces made of stainless steel. The 316 stainless steel used for this feeder has an electropolish finish. The other exposed parts are made of nickel plated carbon steel or hard anodized aluminum.

In addition to protecting the unit, the cowling on these types of vibratory feeders also serve as a sound enclosure to keep higher frequency sound levels below the maximum allowable level of 80 decibels at three feet from the unit. Additional sound dampening is added by the special fill material in the unit bottom between cracks and the skirt. The uniquely-shaped cowling on this vibratory feeder is designed to also improve ease of cleaning.

Additional noise control is provided by the 3/4" closed-cell Neoprene foam lining, which also assists with moisture control. Available alternative lining materials that meet FDA approval are silicone and urethane.
