VTR’s precision-machined polyamide bowls can be equipped with a built-in Spring Detangler, purpose-built to feed springs efficiently and prevent tangling. Traditional spring feeders often experience jams or clogging due to coiled parts binding together. Our detangler isolates and separates springs, feeding them back into the system without relying on bulky recirculation mechanisms.

This integrated solution keeps springs flowing smoothly into the storage track—untangled, aligned, and ready for the next stage. Designed directly into the bowl feeder, it requires no extra space, setup, or ongoing maintenance. For springs that pose extra challenges, our systems also include an automatic ejection feature to remove problem parts without halting production.

VTR’s polyamide bowl feeders are engineered for maximum flexibility and can be paired with a wide range of hopper and accumulation solutions to suit the unique demands of each production line. Compatible hopper options include elevator hoppers, stepper hoppers, live-bottom feeders, and vibratory hoppers, each offering distinct advantages depending on the part type and feeding requirements.

For part storage and flow control, our feeders can be matched with accumulation devices including vibratory, pneumatic, or conveyor-style systems to manage throughput before the next phase in your process. The optimal accumulation method is selected based on part characteristics and automation goals.

Available in black for automotive applications or in FDA-approved white and blue for use in medical, pharmaceutical, or consumer environments, our bowls also support integrated control panels for a turn-key operation. This is especially useful for complex or multi-lane setups, allowing for fast deployment and minimal installation effort.
