VF Series Vibratory Feeder Controls
The VF Series are the ideal Variable Frequency UL/cUL listed vibratory feeder control.
Employing frequency inversion and our Auto Tune® technology, VF controls allow for adaptive frequency tuning to the resonant frequency of your vibratory feeder. The all-digital VF Feeder Cube can be used manually or with a Rodix CFR sensor providing frequency and amplitude feedback from your feeder. This enables maximum efficiency in power consumption as well as a lengthened life of the feeder, saving maintenance and energy costs over time. Multiple language selections are available. VF models are available with output power ranging from 3 Amps to 18 Amps at 120VAC (2A to 12A at 240VAC).
General Guidance for VF Series controls sizing by Vibratory Feeder application type:VF Model Typical Application VF-3 Bulk Storage Hoppers, Inlines, and Standard 2 coil Feeder Bowls up through 12" diameter. VF-9 Standard 2 coil Feeder Bowls 12" through 36" diameter. VF-12 Heavy 2 and 3 coil Feeder Bowls. VF-18 Heavy 4 coil Feeder Bowls. -
