Vibrating Feeder

Introduction of Vibrating Feeder

Vibrating feeder, also known as a vibratory feeder or vibratory conveyor, is a device used to transport and feed bulk materials in a controlled manner. It utilizes vibrations to move materials along a trough or tube, ensuring a steady and controlled flow.

Vibrating feeders are widely used in various industries, including mining, construction, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and recycling. They are commonly used to feed bulk materials such as aggregates, ores, chemicals, powders, and granular materials.

Vibrating feeders offer several advantages, including precise and uniform material feeding, efficient material handling, and the ability to handle high-capacity loads. They are often used in conjunction with other equipment such as crushers, screens, and conveyors to form a complete material handling system.

Types of Vibrating Feeders

Types	Motor Type Vibrating Feeder	Electromagnetic Vibrating Feeder	Vibrating Tube Feeder
Application	Combined with motor vibration and mechanical vibration, it is rugged enough to handle heavy-duty applications.	Typically used in applications requiring precise feeding of small or delicate materials.	Typically used to transport fragile or fragile materials that could be damaged or degraded by other types of feeders.
Features	Trough widths range from 6 inches to 5 feet and conveying lengths can be up to 10 meters. Multiple machines can be used in series to realize long-distance transportation.	Using electromagnetic drive to generate vibration, precise and highly controllable, adjustable feed rate.	Seals up to 20 feet (6 meters) and can be cascaded up to 100 feet (30 meters).

Application of Vibrating Feeder

Vibrating feeders are used in a wide variety of industries where controlled and reliable material transfer is required. Here are some common applications for vibratory feeders:

Mining and Quarrying: For transporting and feeding bulk materials such as ore, coal, aggregates and minerals. They are used in primary and secondary crushing systems, storage and recycling processes.

Construction and Aggregates: Used on construction sites and aggregate processing plants for efficient handling and supply of construction materials including crushed stone, gravel, sand and concrete. They ensure a continuous, uniform supply of material to crushers, screens and other processing equipment.

Recycling and Waste Management: Used in recycling plants and waste management facilities to process and supply a variety of recyclable materials and waste. They help to separate and sort different types of materials such as paper, plastic, metal and glass, thereby increasing the efficiency of the recycling process.

Food Processing: For precise control of the feeding of ingredients, additives and raw materials. They are used in applications such as ingredient, mixing, packaging and delivery of food, ensuring accurate dosing and preventing product contamination.

Pharmaceutical and Chemical: For precise feeding of granules, powders and other bulk materials. They are commonly used in processes such as mixing, sieving and packaging of pharmaceuticals, chemicals and ingredients.

Foundries and Metal Fabrication: Foundries and metal fabrication plants use vibratory feeders to convey and feed raw materials such as castings, scrap metal, and metal powder. They help regulate material flow during casting, melting and forming.

Ceramic and glass industry: Vibrating feeders are used in ceramic and glass manufacturing to control the supply of raw materials such as powders and granules. They ensure consistent material flow during forming, molding and firing.

What is the function of vibrating feeder?

Vibrating feeder is widely used in mining, metallurgy, coal, building materials, light industry, chemical industry, electric power, grain and other industries. to the receiving device. Such as feeding, batching, etc. to crushing, coal preparation, screening, transportation, packaging machinery, etc.

Vibrating Feeder Working Principle

The feeding process of the vibrating feeder is realized by using a special vibrating motor or two motors to drive the vibrator to drive the feeding trough to vibrate periodically and linearly along the inclined direction. The material in the material is thrown up and jumps forward according to the trajectory of the parabola. The throwing and falling are completed in an instant. Due to the continuous excitation of the excitation source, the feeding trough vibrates continuously, and the coal in the trough jumps forward continuously, so that the achieve the purpose of feeding.
