Overview
The Rodix FC-40 Plus series feeder control is a fixed-frequency, variable-voltage analog controller designed for reliable operation of vibratory feeder systems. The FC-40 feeder control seamlessly integrates with vibratory bowl feeders, linear inline feeders, and bulk storage hoppers that do not require external sensors. This industrial-grade unit delivers straightforward speed modulation through a front-mounted dial, making it ideal for applications requiring manual speed adjustment without complex sensing or PLC integration.
Key Features
- Variable voltage output with fixed frequency operation for consistent feeder performance
- On/off rocker switch and dual dial control for manual speed adjustment (0–10 range)
- Single AC output with 120VAC 50/60Hz 15A rated current at 80% duty cycle
- Designed for 3 and 4 coil vibratory feeder bowls rated 15 amps or less
- Durable enclosure with three-prong power cord for standard wall outlet compatibility
- Field-proven reliability in high-volume feeding applications
