Pneumatic Feeder: Know The Different Types

A pneumatic feeder is equipment that is primarily used for handling a variety of materials including paper, metal, fiber, fabric plastic, wire, tube, foil and extruded material. This equipment is commonly used in agricultural and industrial applications. These feeders are mainly used in automotive, electronic and chemical as well as defense sector.

These materials handling equipment are usually manufactured from high quality steel, aluminum and aluminum alloys under strict quality control. They can be customized according to the specific requirements of the users. Moreover, their technically advanced design allows them to operate under tough conditions. These material handling devices are highly durable and safe to use.

Some of the advanced features of these devices are:
* High tensile strength
* Anti-corrosive properties
* Outstanding performance
* Application specific design
* Power efficiency
* Easy to install
* Easy and maintenance free operation
* Resistant to harsh environment.

Different types of pneumatic feeders available in the market today are:

1. Industrial Pneumatic Feeder: These types of feed units are specially designed for higher production of small parts. They are especially suitable when long feed strokes are required. These feed units come with a special valve that increases the feeding speed.

2. Compact Pneumatic Feeder: These feed units are very easy to install. They can be fixed directly on the die set with the help of two mounting screws. These feed units come with a mechanical valve and an actuate system. They are attached with pneumatic shock absorbers for increased feed accuracy, at high feeding speeds. Also, no connections outside the feed unit are needed except for the compresses air line. Some of the distinct features of compact pneumatic feed units are:
* Accurate performance
* Low air consumption
* Quiet operation
* Compact in size
* Operates by electric or pneumatic control

3 Double Cylinders Pneumatic Feed Units: The double cylinders feed units are available in 4 mm sheet thickness, 400 mm stroke length and uo to 400mm sheet width. Moreover, these feed units are resistant to temperature variations.

4. Multi Cylinders Pneumatic Feed Units: These material handling feed units are available in 1000 mm stroke length, 1000 mm sheet width and 16 mm sheet thickness. These pneumatic feed units are known for their high durability and trouble free performance.

5. Pneumatic Feed Units (Thin Sheets): These types of feed units are especially suitable for delicate or thin strips feeding, such as poly strips and aluminum strips.

6. Pneumatic Feed Units (Push and Pull Type): These types of pneumatic feed units are primarily used for power press automation. They are ideal for cutting pieces of sheets not coil. These pneumatic feeders are known for their low maintenance and smooth operations.
