Vibrating Feeders

Vibratory equipment for the auto shredding and recycling industries.

vibrating feeders for auto shredding and recycling

Principals of Operation:

Twin motor feeders are designed to convey product by creating a linear straight-line motion. Two counter rotating rotary electric drives provide the linear push/pull action required. As the A.C. motors counter rotate, the side forces are canceled out and the linear forces are combined. With the motors properly attached and located on a ridigized trough suitable for the forces being exerted and the vibrating mass properly isolated the conveyance action is quiet and positive. This drive method requires no belts, crank arms, rocker arms or leaf springs. The synchronized motors provide a semi-balanced design, which eliminates the uncontrollable bouncing during shutdown. The drive systems can be 1800, 1200 or 900 rpm depending on the amplitude and design parameters.

Applications in the Recycling Industry:

  • Eddy Current Feeders
  • Induction Sorting Machines
  • Undermill Feeders
  • Magnet Feeders
  • Metering Drum Feeders
  • Shear Take-Away Conveyors
