Stainless steel FS-70 centrifugal feeder supports sanitary, high-volume manufacturing operations

The FS-70 centrifugal feeder from Shibuya Hoppmann is designed to support high-rate, sanitary part handling across food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and industrial manufacturing operations.

The FS-70 scallop centrifugal feeder is one of the largest centrifugal feeders available. The system is engineered to feed small, medium, and large parts at high speeds while maintaining consistent orientation and product flow.

The feeder features an all-stainless-steel housing built to resist corrosion and withstand demanding production environments. An FDA-approved acrylonitrile butadiene styrene vacuum-formed disc supports hygienic operation in regulated applications. The hardcoat anodized aluminum bowl provides a durable, low-friction surface designed to extend service life and reduce wear.

The bowl is predrilled for scallop mounting, allowing manufacturers to install tooling quickly and adapt to different part geometries. Parts are radially oriented and qualified in scallop pockets using qualifiers, wipers, and pneumatic and electrical devices tailored to specific product characteristics.

An integrated air clutch delivers smooth torque transmission to reduce mechanical stress and maintenance requirements. A hinged polycarbonate cover with safety interlocks prevents operator access during operation while maintaining clear visibility of feeding performance.

Optional configurations expand the feeder’s application range. Washdown motors support sanitary environments, and custom urethane scallop kits help optimize feeding performance and reduce the risk of jams.

According to Shibuya Hoppmann, the FS-70 centrifugal feeder is suited for applications ranging from beverage and dairy caps and closures to fasteners, molded components, and personal care products. The system’s design emphasizes durability, operator safety, and flexibility for manufacturers seeking stable, high-volume part handling.
