Vibratory Feeder is generally used below the storage Hopper/Chute to regulate the flow of material to other equipments in the process to avoid choking. It is also used in various applications where infinitesimally variable feed rate is required such as husk fired boilers. We manufacture feeders up to 200 TPH capacity for all types of free flowing materials and feed rate can be controlled from zero to maximum stepless by variac/thyristor based controller.
More than 1000 vibratory feeders of various capacities, manufactured by us, are working in cement, paper, fertilizer, sugar and chemical plants all over India and abroad. They are also used in husk, wood chip fired boilers.
There are two types of Vibratory Feeders – Electromagnetic type and Electromechanical/Unbalance Motor Type.
Electromagnetic Vibratory Feeder uses the magnetism of current carrying conductor to generate vibrations. The drive unit is designed such that it vibrates on application of half-wave alternating current. The drive unit is tuned to resonance such that it draws very low current to generate intense vibration. The vibrations can be varied from 0 to max using a variac or MCI make digital controller.
Features of MCI make Electromagnetic Vibratory Feeder:
1) Rugged dust proof construction
2) Low Power Consumption
3) Low Maintenance
4) Easy Installation
The MCI Vibratory feeder models VF380-2TR and VF400-2TR are supplied continuously for husk feeding to some of our esteemed customers – Thermax Global, Veesons Energy Systems Pvt. Ltd., Maxtherm Boilers and Multitech Boilers to name a few.
Our feeders have a low complaint rate as we have constantly upgraded our feeders to ensure that they perform without issues in the industrial environment.
In electromechanical type vibratory feeder, the vibration are achieved using twin unbalance type motors. Eccentric weights are attached to the end of the shaft and by the relative position of these weights, the centrifugal force can be varied. The frequency of vibration depends on the revolutions of the motor. We use high quality imported vibration motors for this purpose.
Electromechanical feeders are available in various models and we provide a custom quotation based on your requirement.
Vibratory feeder controller is designed to automatically control input to vibratory equipments. This thyristor based controllers are designed and programmed to provide variable half wave rectified voltage to the vibratory feeders. These controllers are micro-controller based and the vibration cane be varied by touch of a button. The soft touch buttons are easy to use and durable compared to rotating knobs. The controller provides step-less transition from 0 to max level of vibration. On power up, the vibration will start from ZERO to the set value. This is the soft start feature. This feature is provided to safe guard the feeder from sudden jerk.
The controllers are light weight, easy to manage and east to mount and get started. The controller enclosure is designed using special nylon material which is light in weight, strong and resistant to wear and tear and very well suitable for operation under industrial conditions. The input and output terminals are clearly marked and this enable a quick plug and play operation of your vibration device. The controller comes in various models and can be controlled directly from PLC 4-20mA input.
Product Specification and features are as below:
1) Models available for 230V A.C. and 415V A.C, 50 Hz & 60 Hz operation
2) High current rating up to 25A
3) Automatic control through PLC is possible in one of the models of the controller
4) Soft start feature
4) Easy mounting and connections
5) Rugged construction – suitable for industrial environment
6) Light weight
7) Easy operation
8) Soft touch button interface
9) Can be used to control various vibration devices
