Serial production of bowl feeders
Radine has extensive experience in the serial production of bowl feeders. In addition to the required batch size, the challenging output and high degree of reliability stand out in this type of project. For these systems, sorting elements and outlet chicanes are engineered to be able to mill them or to 3D print from plastic and steel. If batch sizes become very large, Radine can, in close collaboration with colleagues from Schaeffler Sondermaschinebau GmbH, use a platform specially developed for Schaeffler based on casted bowls.

RNA stepper feeders
the stepper feeder is built in such a way that the hopper can be filled by hand due to its low filling height. The workpieces are brought up from the hopper by means of counter-rotating lifting plates and reach the desired transfer height without any further conveyor technology. Due to the transport upwards and the shape of the lifting plates, the workpieces are pre-sorted. The step conveyor works almost noiselessly and vibration-free without workpieces..png?width=520&height=300&name=Assemblage%20lijn%20voor%20thermisch%20management%20module%20(automotive).png)
