TABLE OF CONTENTS Well-designed equipment with easy separation capabilities allows simple, fully automatic or semi-automatic systems to be developed with ease (Figs. 10-38 and 10-39). Figure 10-40 shows a parts feeder feeding a burnisher, which, in turn, feeds a fresh water rinse and shake-off unit. Then a vibratory parts dryer filled with cob meal discharges onto an inspection belt. Systems involving the feeding of one machine from another are commonplace. If the parts must make more than one cycle around a bowl machine to provide the needed finishing, timers can raise the separator screen at the end of the cycle. For machines producing a single part month after month, the machine can be built so that a single pass around the machine produces the desired action and the separator is always in the up position.
