Do You Know about the Applications of Vibrating Feeders?

Vibrating feeders have been used in the manufacturing industry for several decades to efficiently move fine and coarse materials. But do you know about its applications? As a vibrating feeder supplier, I am glad to introduce you!

A vibrating feeder is equipment that uses vibration to feed material through a process or a machine while controlling the rate of flow. Vibrating feeders utilize both vibration and gravity to move material forward. The gravity influences these parts to shift direction, resulting in them moving down or laterally. Simultaneously, vibration is applied to trigger the material's movement. In reaction, the material on the feeder moves in tiny hops or jumps.

The Common Applications of Vibrating Feeders

Vibrating feeders deal with a wide assortment of materials including but not limited to: nuts, crushed limestone, shelled corn, powdered metal, metal billets, a variety of pipe fittings, scrap brass, and bronze, crushed and shredded automobiles, hot dross, and much more. Because they emit precise vibrations, vibrating feeders are also used to process small parts, like coins, washers, or O-rings, as they move along a belt conveyor.

Other Applications of Vibrating Feeders

Controlling the flow of ingredients to mixing tanks.

Spreading toppings or coatings on food and dairy products.

Adding binders and carbons to foundry sand reprocessing systems.

Dealing with the chemical additive feeding in the pulp and paper whitening or chip handling processes.

Feeding metal parts to heat-treating furnaces Feeding scrap or glass cullet to furnaces.

The Industries Relying on vibrating Feeders

Vibrating feeders can grow into ringleaders at factories across many industries. This equipment can constantly move numerous objects that may need people for countless hours,  tiredness, and even physical damage. They are also designed to become much safer for operators. Vibrating feeders are used to deal with the majority of materials across all industries, including the pharmaceutical, automotive, electronic, cosmetic, food, and packaging industries. 

So, whether you are handling bulky, chunky material, or more delicate particles, vibrating feeders can get the job done. In addition, these machines are used to advance materials like glass, foundry, steel, and plastics through construction and manufacturing facilities, not to mention recycling materials, pulp and paper, metal-working industries, dry bulk solid materials, and others. This versatility in design, process, and utility can make vibrating feeders a great choice for most production systems.

Vibrating feeders can save money and time on routine maintenance as well, considering that they have no moving parts, apart from the vibrating drive unit. This means they break down less consistently and vibrating feeders parts are simple to change. Other advantages of vibrating feeders include ergonomic design, adaptability, effectiveness, and precision. Our company has many types of vibrating feeders for sale, welcome to consult!
