Vibrating feeder is a kind of equipment used to uniformly and quantitatively feed bulk and granular materials from the silo or storage hopper to the receiving device. It plays a huge role in material handling.

Electromagnetic vibrating feeder

I. In terms of uniform feeding

1. Precise control of flow: The vibrating feeder can precisely control the flow of materials by adjusting parameters such as vibration frequency and amplitude. For example, in the ore processing industry, when ore needs to be transported from the silo to the crusher, the vibrating feeder can supply ore uniformly at a set speed. This can ensure that the crusher operates in a relatively stable working state, avoiding clogging of the crusher due to excessive materials or idling of the equipment due to insufficient materials, reducing the production efficiency of the equipment.

2. Ensure stable quality of subsequent processes: In chemical production, for some process processes that require precise batching, the vibrating feeder can ensure that various raw materials are uniformly supplied to equipment such as reactors in appropriate proportions. Taking the production of a certain compound fertilizer as an example, nitrogen fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer, potassium fertilizer and other multiple raw materials need to be uniformly mixed. The vibrating feeder can make each raw material stably enter the mixing equipment to ensure the accurate proportion of the components of the compound fertilizer, thereby ensuring the stability of product quality.

II. In terms of material transportation

1. Realize efficient transportation: The vibrating feeder can transport materials from one location to another, especially for some materials with poor fluidity such as granular and blocky materials. It uses the power generated by vibration to make the materials have a forward movement trend on the trough body. For example, in the construction industry, it is used to transport building materials such as sand and gravel. If these materials rely on natural flow, it will be relatively slow, and the vibrating feeder can quickly transport them to equipment such as mixers, improving the work efficiency of the entire building material processing.

2. Adapt to various material characteristics: It can handle materials with various different characteristics, including wet and sticky materials. For example, in ceramic production, sometimes the raw materials are somewhat sticky, and the vibrating feeder can still effectively transport them. Because vibration can break the sticky connection between materials and make the materials move smoothly on the trough body.

III. In terms of preliminary treatment of material screening

Simple screening function: The vibrating feeder can also perform preliminary screening of materials during the feeding process. Its vibration effect can make smaller particles pass through the screen on the trough body, while larger particles continue to move forward on the trough body. In the coal processing industry, after coal is mined from the mine, it contains particles of various sizes. The vibrating feeder can screen out finer particles such as pulverized coal. Coarse-grained coal is then continuously transported to subsequent washing or crushing processes. In this way, a part of qualified products can be separated in advance, and it is also conducive to the further processing of coarse-grained coal in the future.

According to different driving methods, we can divide vibrating feeders into motor vibrating feeders and electromagnetic vibrating feeders. They have their own advantages. The motor vibrating feeder has a large conveying capacity and is relatively inexpensive. The electromagnetic vibrating feeder handles materials gently and is convenient for speed adjustment, but the price is relatively high.

VRV is an expert in manufacturing vibrating feeders. We can customize feeders according to customer needs. According to the advantages of motor feeders and electromagnetic feeders, we can combine the two. Make this feeding system an important link in the material handling production line.
