Feeding & dosing
Vibrating feeder
The vibrating feeder moves bulk solids in a trough with a motor or electromagnetic drive. Adjustable amplitude meters the feed onto downstream machines with few moving parts.

Operating principle
A trough is set into longitudinal vibration. Material advances in small throws. Motor unbalance or electromagnetic drives set the amplitude. Few bearings and no belts keep maintenance low. Typical duty is as buffer and feeder ahead of crusher, screen, conveyor or packer, and at silo discharge.
Where this machine is used

Frequently asked sizing questions
What data is required for a vibrating feeder?
Required data includes material, particle-size range, bulk density, moisture, temperature, required mass flow, feeding method, buffering need, installation length and operating hours. Abrasiveness and dust behaviour also determine trough material, lining and enclosure.
Can a vibrating feeder dose precisely?
It can create an adjustable, even material flow, but achievable dosing accuracy depends on flow behaviour, fill level, drive, control and calibration. Binding tolerances are defined for the actual product in the project specification.
When is a motor drive or electromagnetic drive selected?
Selection depends on throughput, control range, trough mass, intermittent duty and process interface. Electromagnetic drives often suit smaller finely controlled duties, while motor unbalance drives are commonly assessed for robust continuous service.
