Industrial Vibrating Feeder Machine Chute Feeder Swaying Feeder Heavy Duty Apron Feeder

1. Vibrating Feeder

• Features:

  • Uses vibration motors or electromagnetic drives to move materials.

  • Adjustable feed rate via vibration amplitude/frequency.

  • Handles granular or small-block materials (0-500mm).

• Performance:

  • High precision in feeding control (±2% accuracy).

  • Suitable for harsh environments (dusty, high-temperature).

  • Low maintenance but may generate noise.

2. Chute Feeder

• Features:

  • Gravity-driven flow through an inclined chute.

  • Simple structure with no moving parts.

  • Ideal for large, heavy, or abrasive materials (e.g., rocks, ores).

• Performance:

  • Low energy consumption.

  • Limited feed rate control (relies on material gravity).

  • Prone to blockages with sticky or wet materials.

3. Disk Feeder

• Features:

  • Rotating disk with adjustable scraper blades.

  • Handles fine to medium-sized powders or granules.

  • Sealed design minimizes dust leakage.

• Performance:

  • High accuracy (±1% for precise dosing).

  • Low capacity (typically < 50 t/h).

  • Requires frequent calibration for sticky materials.

4. Belt Feeder

• Features:

  • Continuous rubber or steel belt for material transport.

  • Adjustable speed via variable frequency drives (VFDs).

  • Handles bulk materials (e.g., coal, aggregates).

• Performance:

  • High capacity (up to 3,000 t/h).

  • Long-distance feeding (up to 30m).

  • Vulnerable to belt wear and tear in abrasive conditions.

5. Screw Feeder

• Features:

  • Rotating helical screw inside a trough.

  • Ideal for powders, granules, or semi-fluid materials.

  • Fully enclosed design for dust-free operation.

• Performance:

  • Moderate capacity (10-200 t/h).

  • Excellent dosing accuracy (±0.5%).

  • High energy consumption; not suitable for large lumps.

6. Apron Feeder

• Features:

  • Heavy-duty overlapping steel plates (aprons) driven by chains.

  • Designed for large, heavy, or hot materials (e.g., limestone, clinker).

• Performance:

  • Extremely durable (handles up to 2,500 t/h).

  • Withstands impact and abrasion.

  • High initial cost and maintenance for chain/sprocket systems.
