Heavy-duty Vibrating Feeder Guides

A heavy-duty vibrating feeder is an industrial machine designed to convey and regulate the flow of large and heavy materials. It utilizes vibratory motion to convey bulk materials from a hopper or bin to subsequent processing equipment such as a crusher, conveyor, or screen. Heavy-duty vibrating feeders are commonly used in industries such as mining, quarrying, metallurgy, construction, and coal handling where the materials handled are bulky, abrasive, or difficult to handle.

Heavy-duty Vibrating Feeder Can Realize Continuous Feeding

Heavy vibrating feeder is mainly used for coarse crusher crushing equipment before feeding, because the crusher has not crushed the original ore, easy to be affected by the uneven particle size, thus causing jamming, blocking, and other undesirable phenomena, the use of heavy-duty vibrating feeder feed can avoid the occurrence of the above situation, to realize the uniformity of continuous feeding, especially suitable for the lumpy material ore mixed fines, through the front bars of the minerals pre-screening, the 3 Through the pre-screening of the minerals by the front bar, the clay and stone materials below 3 centimeters are screened cleanly, to improve the crushing efficiency of the ores. Our heavy-duty vibrating feeder has high vibration strength, fast feeding and conveying speed, and is maintenance-free with thin oil lubrication.

Heavy-duty vibrating feeders can send lumpy and granular materials evenly, regularly, and continuously from the storage bin to the receiving device in the production process. In the sand and gravel production line vibrating feeder is used for continuous and even feeding of crushing machinery and coarse screening of materials. An impact crusher is a kind of crushing machinery that utilizes impact energy to crush materials.

Difference Between Heavy Duty And Standard Vibrating Feeders

There are obvious differences between heavy-duty vibrating feeders and standard vibrating feeders in terms of structure, performance, and application scenarios, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Load capacity and application

Heavy-duty vibrating feeder: Designed to handle large and heavy materials, such as ore, coal, mining waste, etc. It is suitable for high-intensity industrial occasions, especially in mining, metallurgy, coal, and other industries that require a large amount of material conveying. It can withstand large material impact and ensure stable material supply.

Standard vibrating feeder: Suitable for conveying lighter, granular, or powdery materials, mainly used in light industry and medium load applications, such as food processing, chemical industry, and light industry material conveying. Smaller load capacity, suitable for occasions with low requirements on material weight and volume.

2. Structural design

Heavy-duty vibrating feeder: It usually adopts a stronger steel structure design with greater wear resistance and impact resistance to adapt to heavy load and high abrasion working conditions. Its vibration system usually uses a stronger exciter or vibration motor, to ensure that the handling of large materials can still maintain stability.

Standard vibrating feeder: The structure is relatively simple, the use of materials is usually lighter, the design is more delicate, suitable for small and medium-sized material handling. The power of the excitation system is relatively low, mainly for the continuous supply of general materials.

3. Vibrating system

Heavy-duty vibrating feeder: The vibration frequency is lower, but the amplitude is larger to ensure that there is enough power and impact when dealing with heavy and bulky materials so that the materials can be transported and distributed smoothly.

Standard vibrating feeder: The vibration frequency is relatively high, but the amplitude is small, suitable for lighter material transportation, to maintain high efficiency and fluidity.

4. Use of the environment

Heavy vibrating feeder: Mainly used in mining, metallurgy, coal, sand and gravel, and other harsh environments that require high durability and carrying capacity of the equipment, and can operate for a long time under the working conditions of humidity, dust, and high abrasion.

Standard vibrating feeder: Mostly used in clean and dry environments, suitable for chemical, food, light industry, and other fields, usually does not need to face extreme working conditions.

5. Maintenance and life

Heavy vibrating feeder: Due to the design is more durable, can withstand greater material impact, longer service life, but the equipment itself is heavier, so maintenance is relatively complex.

Standard vibrating feeder: Simpler maintenance, easy to operate, suitable for daily material handling processes, the service life is relatively short, especially in the handling of heavy loads or hard materials wear faster.

To summarize, a heavy vibrating feeder is suitable for processing large, high-strength materials, suitable for mining and other harsh environments, while the standard vibrating feeder is more suitable for lightweight materials conveyance, used in light industry or conventional material handling field.

Heavy-duty Vibrating Feeder Use Guide

The use guide for heavy-duty vibrating feeders includes many aspects of equipment installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and so on. To ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment, reasonable use and maintenance is very important. The following is the detailed use guide:

1. Installation Guide

Foundation preparation: Before installation, you need to prepare a solid, level foundation, usually a concrete foundation to support the equipment. Ensure that the foundation can withstand the weight of the equipment and the impact load of materials.

Position selection: A heavy vibrating feeder should be installed in the appropriate position of the material conveying line to ensure reasonable connection with upstream and downstream equipment (such as crusher, and screen).

Vibration-damping device: To reduce the impact of vibration on the surrounding environment and the foundation, vibration-damping springs or rubber mats are usually installed between the base of the equipment and the foundation.

Power supply connection: According to the manual of the equipment, connect the power supply of the vibration motor or exciter correctly, and make sure that the voltage, current, and other parameters meet the requirements.

2. Commissioning Guide

Initial test run: After the installation of the equipment is completed, a test run should be carried out. First of all, check whether the equipment is firmly fixed, whether the components are fastened and whether the power supply is wired correctly.

No-load test run: During no-load operation, observe whether the vibration of the equipment is smooth and whether there is abnormal noise or loose parts. Ensure that the amplitude and vibration frequency are consistent with the design requirements.

Load test run: under the condition of material load, check whether the conveying capacity and amplitude adjustment of the feeder meet the demand and whether the material can be conveyed evenly and continuously. Pay attention to observing the operation of the equipment under heavy load to ensure that there is no abnormal phenomenon.

3. Operation Guidelines

Startup and shutdown:

• Starting sequence: start the heavy-duty vibrating feeder first, then start the downstream equipment. This will avoid overloading due to material buildup.
• Shutdown sequence: Stop the downstream equipment first, and then shut down the vibrating feeder after the material is emptied.

Monitoring during operation: The operation of the equipment needs to be checked regularly, especially under long working hours or high-load working conditions. Pay attention to observing whether the amplitude, noise, temperature, etc. is within the normal range.

Adjustment of material flow: By adjusting the vibration force of the exciter or the rotational speed of the motor, the conveying speed and material flow rate of the material can be adjusted to meet different production requirements.

4. Maintenance and Upkeep

Regular inspection: Regularly check the wear and tear of the vibration motor, shaker, damping spring, and other worn parts, and replace or repair them in time. Check the insulation of electrical lines to avoid short circuits or motor damage caused by aging wires.

Lubrication and Maintenance: Lubricate the bearings and moving parts regularly according to the instruction manual of the equipment to keep the equipment running smoothly and reduce friction loss.

Cleaning and maintenance: regularly clean up the accumulation of materials on the silo and feeder to avoid material blockage affecting the conveying effect. Check the environment around the equipment to make sure that there are no obstacles hindering the normal work of the equipment.

Troubleshooting: If you find abnormal vibration, excessive noise reduced conveying capacity, etc., you should stop the machine immediately for inspection. Troubleshoot problems such as motor failure, broken springs, or worn shakers, and repair them in time.

5. Safety Precautions

Prohibit contact when the equipment is running: the heavy vibrating feeder vibrates strongly when it is running, the operator should avoid contacting the moving parts of the equipment to prevent accidents.

Electrical safety: electrical equipment should be well grounded to prevent leakage. The shell of the motor and shaker should be kept intact.

Emergency stop: The equipment should be equipped with an emergency stop device so that it can be stopped in time to prevent the accident from expanding when the equipment is faulty or abnormal.

6. Common Problems and Solutions

Uneven amplitude of equipment: check whether the shaker is balanced and whether the motor steering is consistent, if necessary, adjust the position of the eccentric block of the shaker.

Uneven material transportation: adjust the inclination angle or vibration frequency of the feeder to ensure that the material is evenly distributed on the conveying surface.

Excessive noise: check whether the equipment has loose parts, spring damage, or bearing wear, if necessary, replace the damaged parts.

Proper use and maintenance of heavy-duty vibrating feeders are critical to the long-term stable operation of the equipment. By following the above guidelines, you can ensure efficient operation of your equipment in high-intensity, harsh environments, extending service life and increasing productivity.
