Vibratory feeders (vibrating conveyors) control the material flow between equipment in the processing line. They transform irregular, bulky flow into a uniform, controlled layer, ensuring consistent feeding for downstream separators, screens, secondary shredders, and conveyors.
Function in the line
The efficiency of any separator (magnetic, ECS, NIR, X-Ray) depends on feed quality. Piled-up, overlapping, or irregularly flowing material reduces recovery rate and purity. The vibratory feeder solves this problem by spreading material into a single layer at controlled speed.
Operational characteristics
Driven by vibrating motor or electromagnet, depending on capacity and application
Adjustable frequency and amplitude for different materials and particle sizes
Carbon steel or stainless steel construction, with optional wear-resistant lining
Lengths and widths sized according to line throughput
Considerations
Positioning in the line and frequency/amplitude adjustment make a measurable difference in downstream equipment efficiency. A detail that is resolved by observing actual operation.
