The track is designed to sort and orient the parts in consistent, repeatable positions. The track length, width, and depth are carefully chosen to suit the application and component shape and size. Special track coatings are applied according to shape size and material of the component which aids traction, damage to the product and lower acoustic levels. A variable speed control box is used for controlling the vibration of the bowl feeder and stops the flow of parts to the out feed track via [[sensors]].  Vibratory feeders are utilized by all industries including, the pharmaceutical, automotive, electronic, food, Fast Moving Consumable Goods (FMCG), packaging and metal working industries. It also serves other industries such as glass, foundry, steel, construction, recycling, pulp and paper, and plastics. Vibratory feeders offer a cost-effective alternative to manual labor, saving manufacturer’s time and labor costs. Several factors must be considered when selecting a parts feeder, including the industry, application, material properties and product volume.

The vibrator which drives the bowl is called Vibrating Drive Units. These can be from 65 mm diameter to upto 1200 mm diameter in case of electromechanical coil types.

==Types of feeding systems==
*[[Bowl Feeders]]: consists of a bowl top with a spiral track inside the bowl. The component parts are delivered from the bottom of the bowl feeder up the track into the top of the feeder as the bowl vibrates. The parts are the positioned in the proper position. These parts are usually then fed on to a vibratory or air track
*[[Centrifugal Feeders]]:, have a conical central driven rotor surrounded by a circular bowl wall. The feeder separate component parts utilizing rotary force and the parts revolve with high speed and are pulled to the outside of the bowl.
 
 
==Accessories==
*[[Coatings]]: Bowl feeder coatings to minimise wear and tear, reduces noise and damage to parts.
*Sound enclosure/cover: A foam-lined structure that absorbs the noise created by the vibratory feeder. Reduce noise and protects against dust and contamination.
*Base plates: Enable easy mounting of the drive unit to the machine bed.
*Sensors: Minimum/maximum level control on a linear track.
*Hopper: Large, bulk container that stores material and regulates parts flow into the vibratory feeder system.
