Vibrating Hopper Feeder

Vibrating Hopper Feeder Principle

The vibrating hopper feeder is an automated device with a storage bin that uses vibration to evenly and controllably convey materials from the hopper to downstream equipment. It is widely used in manufacturing, food, pharmaceuticals, chemical engineering and other fields. Its core principle is to drive the movement of materials by the mechanical force generated by vibration.

Vibrating Hopper Feeder Advantages

1. Simple structure. The core components of the vibrating feeder are only the electromagnetic vibrator and the conveying trough. The vibrator is used to generate the vibrating force, and the conveying trough is used to carry the materials. The vibrating feeder machine is more robust and durable. Even when operating 24 hours a day throughout the year, there is hardly any wear and tear. This greatly reduces the failure rate and downtime maintenance costs.

2. Uniform conveying and protection of material properties. The Vibrating Hopper Feeder uses the periodic vibration generated by the vibrator to make the materials in the feeding trough have small throwing and sliding movements, thereby realizing the conveying of the materials. This vibration method can form a uniform flowing layer of materials in the trough, avoiding the accumulation and blockage of materials. While ensuring the uniformity of material conveying, it also avoids the damage to the material properties caused by extrusion.

3. High sealing performance. The vibrating conveyor can adopt tubular and square enclosed designs. O-ring seals and steel joints are used at the entrances, exits, and the joints of movable components, thus having high sealing performance and avoiding dust pollution.

4. Convenient for observation and cleaning. The VRV Hopper Feeder Manufacturer designs multiple observation holes and detachable covers on the vibrating feeder according to the customer's requirements, which is convenient for observing during material conveying and cleaning the equipment after long-term operation.

5. Wide range of applicable materials. The vibrating feeder can handle fine materials, powders, granules, and bulk materials of various sizes and properties, from milk powder and calcium carbonate to coal and ores.

6. High conveying accuracy and low noise. The VRV Electromagnetic Vibrating Hopper Feeder is driven by the VRV Electromagnetic Vibrator, which can achieve stepless speed regulation from 0 - 100%, start and stop immediately without delay, and the operating noise is below 80 dB.

7. Automated operation and control. The VRV Magnetic Vibrating Feeder can be controlled by the VRV Controller and integrated into the automated control panel, supporting analog remote control of the feeding speed.

8. Flexible structural design: Important parameters such as the material, length, shape, and conveying capacity of the vibrating feeder machine can be determined through joint discussions between the customer and VRV engineers.

The biggest feature of structural vibrating feeder compared to other feeding equipment is its simple structure, which makes it maintenance free and operates smoothly for a long time. Its main components include the following:

1. Vibration motor or electromagnetic vibrator: As the vibration source of vibration feeder, both vibration motor and electromagnetic driver have the characteristics of simple structure, high reliability, andeasy maintenance, and are widely used in vibration equipment such as vibration feeder, vibration screen, and vibration conveyor. Choose vibration motor or electromagnetic driver according to differentusage scenarios;

2. Controller: If an electromagnetic driver is selected as the vibration source, the controller will also become an essential component. Its main function is to adjust the vibration force and amplitude ofthe driver to achieve the best feeding efficiency;

3. Conveyor trough: The conveyor trough hasthe characteristics of diverse shapes, adjustable volume, optional materials, and anti clogging. Common types include groove and tube shaped, open andclosed. Different shapes of conveyor bodies can be customized to ensure smooth transportation of different materials;

4. Bracket or Hanging support: The spring bracket has the characteristics of vibration absorption and noise reduction, stable support, and easy installation, effectively extending the service life of the vibrating feeder.

5. Storage Hopper: The storage hopper is used to store materials and control the flow rate of materials. In order to achieve accurate feeding, a weighing system can be installed under the hopper. VRV can customize storage hoppers with different capacities and materials according to customers' requirements.

Vibrating Hopper Feeder Application Scenarios

1. Chemical Industry

Customers from large Arab chemical plants have ordered twenty Compact Vibrating Hopper Feeders for the feeding and conveying of powdery materials. The conveying distance of the feeder is 1100 mm and it is equipped with a PLC intelligent control system, which can remotely and accurately control the feeding amount.

2. Glass Industry

The production of glass requires a large amount of precise batching and mixing of materials such as silica sand and soda ash. The conveying capacity of this feeder reaches 150 t/h. The materials enter the Vibrating Hopper Feeder with a cover through the silo. The equipment is made of SUS304, with the outer surface painted and the inner surface polished. The unique feature of this feeder lies in its support method: suspended at the front and supported at the back.

3. Mining Industry

After being crushed, the piles of ore need to be conveyed to a designated position. The Ore Vibrating Hopper Feeder is used to receive the crushed materials and improve the fluidity of the materials. The structure of the Vibrating Hopper Feeder is more robust and simple, reducing the cost. The interior of this Hopper Feeder is equipped with a lining plate, which strengthens the structure and extends the service life of the equipment.
