What are the types of feeders? What are their structural features?

Driven by technological advancements, industrial production utilizes automated equipment like feeders to enhance efficiency, save time, and reduce labor. Feeders are widely used in metallurgy, chemical, construction materials, and coal power industries. Their classification varies based on operational requirements.

Feeder Types:

·Open or enclosed types, including heavy-duty plate feeders, light plate feeders, trough feeders, and motor-vibrating feeders.

·Applications: Uniform, timed, and continuous delivery of bulk or granular materials (e.g., sand, stone) from storage to processing units, with preliminary screening.

Structural Features:

Simple design with components like rotary disks, guide sleeves, and scrapers.

Advantages: Easy operation, stable vibration, durability, low maintenance (no lubrication), and energy efficiency.

Example products (e.g., Guonuo Tech’s series): Gravimetric feeders, screw conveyors, gate-controlled feeders, and pressure-resistant coal feeders. Most feature enclosed structures to minimize dust.

Selection Criteria: Prioritize feeder classification, structural traits, and operational needs to identify the optimal solution.
