Used California Vibratory Feeders Equipment for Sale

California Vibratory Feeders, Inc. was founded in 1972 by Donald Robinson in Anaheim, California, where the company still operates today. Originally incorporated in September of that year, the business grew from a small custom-feeder shop into a recognized builder of parts-handling automation machinery, and it remains a family-owned operation now led by Robinson's daughter and her husband under the CalVibes name.

The company's core product line centers on vibratory bowl feeders, offered in sizes ranging from 6 inches to 30 inches in diameter, including multi-lane and multi-bowl configurations for high-throughput applications. Alongside the standard straight-wall bowl, California Vibratory Feeders produces its Cascade-style feeder bowl, which reduces part recirculation and minimizes fall-height damage without requiring a return pan. Centrifugal bowl feeders round out the orienting-feeder lineup, handling parts at higher feed rates than vibratory designs. Each bowl system is typically paired with a linear track — either a powered inline drive unit, a gravity track, or a positive-air airveyor — to convey oriented parts to the next processing point. Vibratory storage hoppers and elevating pre-feeders complete the system by maintaining a steady bulk supply to the bowl.

California Vibratory Feeders serves a broad range of end markets, including medical device manufacturing, pharmaceutical and clean-room production, automotive assembly, aerospace and defense, electronics, cosmetics, packaging, hardware, and irrigation. The equipment handles an equally wide variety of components — screws, nuts, bolts, washers, rivets, molded plastic parts, glass vials, and stamped or machined metal parts — making it a versatile choice across discrete-parts manufacturing.

Buyers seeking used California Vibratory Feeders equipment are drawn to the brand's reputation for robust, long-service construction and the relative simplicity of vibratory drive systems, which translates to low maintenance costs and readily available replacement parts. Because each feeder bowl is custom-tooled to a specific part geometry, a used California Vibratory Feeders bowl that matches a buyer's component can deliver immediate productivity gains at a fraction of new-equipment cost. The company's decades-long presence in the market also means that support documentation and spare drive components remain accessible, protecting the long-term value of pre-owned machines.
