The feeding system to the induction heating CEFI FC21 comprised of the VP 2011 bin tipper, the VZ 1800 vibratory bowl feeder and horizontal conveyer VD 1500 was delivered to company VIVA Zlín. They are designed to transfer billets from pallet bin to the induction heater. Using a forklift, the operator inserts the pallet bin into the bin tipper platform. Pushing a button activates the rotating of the platform and this causes the billets to spill from the bin into the VZ 1800 vibratory bowl feeder. From the bowl feeder, the billets move along a corkscrew path located on the inside of the drum walls until they reach the output port. Located on the corkscrew path are four navigating trims that correctly orient the billets end-to-end. When a billet is incorrectly oriented, it is removed from the corkscrew track back into the bottom of the bowl feeder. From the bowl feeder, the billets emptying into the horizon conveyer and from it billets emptying into chain conveyor customer.
