Vibrating Feeder
Bevcon Wayors Vibratory feeders can be used to “feed” material to a process or machine. The material is almost always a dry material that unlike a liquid may not move down an incline without some assistance from the vibration effect.
An example would be a pill bottling system. A large batch of pills is dumped into the top of the vibratory feeder. Gravity will pull the pills toward the bottom of the feeder where they can exit one at a time so that they can be counted and fed into containers with correct number of pills in each bottle.
In an automated cement mixing operation, a bulldozer could feed a vibratory feeder with irregular loads of raw material which is then delivered to the process at a steady rate by the feeder.
Bevcon Wayors’ Vibratory Feeders, mostly cone shaped, come in many shapes and sizes. They serve the same purpose – to feed bulk material in an uncontrolled fashion and take material out at a controlled, measurable and steady rate.
