Whether you are presenting conveyed material to separation equipment or need to accurately feed tons of rock under a high headload, Eriez has a feeder solution to match your application. Our heavy-duty feeders can be found in harsh environments like mining operations, rock quarries, steel mills, glass plants, aggregate and cement plants, slag mills, mineral processing facilities, as well as general high-volume bulk material handling applications needing precise metering of materials.
Eriez heavy-duty vibratory feeders are capable of accurately moving up to 2,000 tons per hour (sand). Selecting the correct vibratory feeder is based on several factors, including the type of material to be handled, operating environment, head load demands, base mount or suspension configuration, and desired throughput or feed rate.
Eriez High Volume Mechanical Feeders are rugged, vibrating machines that move high volumes of bulk materials reliably and economically. The feeder is a two-mass vibrating system, spring-coupled, excited by a motor-driven eccentric shaft. Adjustable angle rubber springs transmit the exciting force, which can “fine-tune” the motion of the trough to optimize the feed rate for a specific application. The remarkably compact design creates an extremely low profile for minimum headroom for installation.
Eriez Heavy-Duty Electromagnetic Vibratory Feeders are designed for high-volume, controlled feeding applications like coal, ore, aggregates, slag, and others. These feeders feature our energy-saving intermeshed AC-operated electromagnet drives. Powerful, accurate, and highly efficient, this line of vibratory feeders is available in models with capacities to 660 tons (594 MT) per hour*. (*Capacity is based on sand weighing 100 pounds per cubic ft. (1.6 metric tons per cubic meter).
The Brute Force Vibratory Feeder is ideal to evenly spread conveyed materials for presentation to any sort of processing equipment. These feeders use twin eccentric motors mounted to the rear of the pan or tray to create a powerful vibratory motion. The pan or tray is spring mounted to a heavy structural steel frame. All components’ motors and springs are readily accessible for service or replacement. These feeders are available in a range of sizes to suit specific applications. For severe environments, pan liners are available to increase durability and longevity.
