How To Select The Proper Vibrating Feeder Design

There are two basic designs available when selecting a vibrating (linear) feeder: electromagnetic and electromechanical.  Air powered vibrating feeders are basically an alternate to the electromechanical feeders as they have the same simple brute force design concept &#; the vibratory drive is directly attached to the tray. Our challenge is to obtain as much information about the application to make recommendations or at least provide the advantages and disadvantages so the customer has enough information to make an informed decision in order to select the best possible solution for their application.

In essence, all three styles could be suitable, but it&#;s quite possible that only one of the three could be the most advantageous.  The following are the basic advantages and disadvantages of these three feeders.

Electromagnetic Feeders &#; The Electromagnetic Feeders provide variable intensity with typically fixed frequency of vibrations per minute.  They only require single-phase power, offer quick stopping, and are ideal for cold weather installations.  However, they are sensitive to line voltage fluctuations and temperature swings, can require tuning if there are rate or load changes, require skilled maintenance, and are not suitable for hazardous areas.

Electromechanical Feeders &#; The Electromechanical Feeder design is the most versatile as the power is provided by twin rotary electric vibrators where a multitude of forces and frequencies can provide a wide range of stroke and frequency combinations.  You can further enhance the flexibility of this design by controlling the twin vibrators with a VFD (variable frequency drive) which provides a quick and easy adjustment without having to manually adjust the eccentric weights.  Since this design has the twin vibrators synchronizing to produce linear force, these feeders do not stop shaking immediately after power is turned off as the eccentric weights coast to a stop.  A VFD with dynamic braking or a starter with a dynamic brake will end the vibration much more quickly to limit the erratic motion at shut down.  This design provides the quietest operation and is less susceptible to head loads.  Explosion proof vibrators are available for operation in hazardous locations.

Air Powered Feeders &#; This low-cost design is ideal for hazardous locations as the drive is an air-cushioned piston vibrator which produces linear force and can also handle high temperatures.  It&#;s the simplest to maintain, and the controls are the most economical of the three in which a simple regulator that can adjust the air pressure will vary force & frequency output.  While this feeder doesn&#;t require tuning, there are limitations to the physical size of the tray & feed rates, it&#;s less suitable for outdoor operation as freezing airlines are a problem and is susceptible to head load.

Consider the advantages and disadvantages outlined above to determine the best possible solution for your requirements.  While this information is provided as an aid, you should always enlist the assistance of an application specialist to select the proper feeder for your application.

5 Key Tips for Choosing the Right Screening Equipment (2 ...

What is Screening Equipment?

Circular Vibrating Screen  for Sale

 

Screening equipment is used for sorting ore granules based on size. Different screening machines are work on the same principles of gravity, vibration, density, and electrostatic force. They can evenly send massive granules into the feeding bins while analyzing the materials&#; coarse sieving.

They are used for crushing and screening production lines in metallurgy, mineral dressing, abrasive materials, etc. The good thing about these vibrating machines is that the consistent material flow comes with low production and maintenance cost while having several design options to suit your requirements.

Screening Equipment model

 

Screening Equipment Features

Electromotor

The exciter&#;s eccentric block is rotated through the electromotor at a certain speed.

Feeder Tray

The feeder tray channels the material in the desired direction. The tray needs to be rigid so that all the parts have the same vibrating frequency. Otherwise, there will be irregularities in the material flow. This is why our products have feeder trays of the highest quality.

Spring Support

The screening equipment at Camamach has the spring system set up to make the natural frequency of the oscillating tray match the electromagnetic drive&#;s frequency. This keeps the stress to a minimum while maintaining a smooth and quick material flow.

The Base

The base supports the spring and makes sure that the vibrations don&#;t affect the supporting structures.

YK Series Vibrating Screens

These screens of the circular vibrating feeders have multi-decks and provide high-efficiency and precise vibrations. They also have a larger capacity and are extensively used in quarry screening aggregate.

Screening Equipment Uses

Screening equipment is used in all industries to handle bulk materials. It is generally used as:

Vibrating Conveyor

Using the vibrating screen as a vibtrating conveyer gives a torn and burn-resistant metal belt.

Vibrating Feeder

The conveyer feeds another machine with the material.

Vibrating Extractor

The vibratory feeder, installed at a silo or hooper bottom, acts as a vibrating extractor with uniform flow.

Grizzly

Vibrating feeders modified with bars or perforated plates can act as a vibrating feeder and screen combo called Grizzly.
