In an application, when the vibratory feeder gives you problems, more often than not, the issue is misdiagnosed. This results in high costs for the organization. If a part fails and the main issue is not looked into and repaired, the problem will persist. This will end up costing the company a lot more than the initial repair would have cost. Hence, it is important to diagnose the problem associated with your vibratory feeder before attempting to fix it. 3 Common Problems that Slow Down Vibratory Feeders Below are mentioned the problems normally associated with slow functioning vibratory feeders:

• Electrical Settings : The AC/DC settings on the controller and the vibratory drive unit should be the same. Also, ensure that the controller and the drive unit are working on the same frequency.
• Maximum Capacity of Controller : When one controller is used with a different unit, there could be a problem with the maximum adjustment. When a controller is used with a small unit, the maximum adjustment will be quite low. This will affect its performance when used with a bigger unit.
• Damaged Components : Two main components that need to be monitored closely are:
  1. Base Unit Strings : If the base unit strings of a vibratory feeder are cracked, the machine will not be able to function optimally. The shock absorption power reduces, thus affecting the productivity of the unit.
  2. Linings : The linings of the vibratory feeders may be worn, which affects the efficiency of the vibratory feeder.
