About fimotec-fischer
fimotec-fischer is a family-owned company founded in 1971 and headquartered in Denkingen (Baden-Württemberg) that develops and manufactures feeding technology, sorting technology and assembly systems for production automation. The product range includes vibratory bowl feeders, hopper systems (including belt hoppers, vibratory hoppers, BZS), small conveyor belts, high-performance centrifugal feeders, linear, flat, spiral and vertical conveyors, rotary feeders as well as singulation and handling systems, control units and complete assembly systems. The in-house manufacturing depth includes the company's own metalworking shop for steel-manufactured bowl feeders, CAD-designed polyamide bowl feeders and sorting elements produced by 3D printing, CNC turning and milling for system components, in-house control cabinet construction, electronics as well as coating and painting work. Customers come from virtually all industries, including presses, stamping presses, packaging, pick-and-place machines as well as assembly and machining machines. Before delivery, every system undergoes a functional test; series production of feeding systems is carried out in lot sizes of 10 to 80 systems per year.
