Shibuya Hoppmann offers FS-70 scallop centrifugal feeder

Shibuya Hoppmann has developed the FS-70 Scallop Centrifugal Feeder, one of the largest centrifugal feeders available on the market today, the company says. Engineered to feed small, medium or large parts at high rates, the FS-70 combines rugged stainless steel construction, FDA-compliant materials and is customisable.

The FS-70’s exterior features an all-stainless steel housing that is corrosion-resistant, easy to clean and well-suited for demanding production environments. Its FDA-approved ABS vacuum-formed disc ensures hygienic operation for food and beverage applications, while the Hardcoat Anodised aluminium bowl provides a durable, low-friction surface designed to prolong service life. The bowl is predrilled for scallop mounting, allowing for quick installation and flexible part changeovers.

For consistent and efficient operation, the feeder is equipped with an air clutch that delivers smooth torque transmission, reducing wear and maintenance requirements. A hinged polycarbonate cover with safety interlocks prevents operator access during operation while allowing clear visibility of feeding performance.

Optional enhancements extend the FS-70’s versatility. Washdown motors enable reliable performance in sanitary environments, while custom urethane scallop kits are available to optimise feeding for specific part geometries and reduce the risk of jams.
