Vibratory feeders are industrial devices used to transport, feed, or classify materials in a controlled manner. They are widely used in industries such as mining, construction, agriculture, food processing, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and recycling.

Working Principle

Vibratory feeders operate using electromagnetic or mechanical vibration mechanisms. Their main components include:

  • Vibration source (electromagnetic coils or motors)
  • Feeding trough (the surface where materials move)
  • Springs or dampers (to direct the vibration)
  • Control system (to adjust the vibration frequency and speed)

Through vibrations, materials move in a continuous and controlled manner without requiring manual intervention, ensuring automatic and precise feeding.

Applications

  • Mining and Quarries: Transporting ores, coal, and stones.
  • Food Industry: Feeding bulk materials such as grains, sugar, salt, and spices.
  • Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry: Accurate dosing of powders or granules.
  • Automotive: Feeding small parts to assembly lines.
  • Recycling: Sorting plastic, metal, and glass materials.

Advantages

  • Low energy consumption
  • Continuous and consistent material flow
  • Minimal maintenance requirements
  • Adjustable frequency and speed for different materials
  • Quiet and safe operation
