Elscint recently received a very unique requirement from a Government of India research institute. The requirement was to feed saffron flowers one behind the other for further handling and automation. The flowers would be dumped in the bowl feeder and they would be coming out one behind the other. The size of the flowers was around 70 mm in length x 40 mm in width. However, smaller and larger sizes than this mean also would be received and needed to be fed. Hence, Elscint used its Model 400 Vibratory drive with a cast aluminium bowl. The bowl was with a single centrally screw for mounting and tightening the bowl and an integrated central dome. The bowl was coating with Elscinthane PU coating for longer life and better performance as well as to ensure that the flowers would not get dirty during their movement and rubbing on a metallic surface. The institute wanted the bowl within a week as the saffron flower season starts in the 2nd week of October. Hence, Elscint completed the equipment within 4 days including the Elscinthnae coating and supplied the same to the institute which is located in Srinagar, Kashmir, India.
