Vibration Feeder

Electromagnetic Vibration Feeder

Vibratory Feeders provide an efficient and economical method of conveying bulk materials and offer a simple and easy means of controlling their rate of flow.

Rugged and dependable – Manufactured and proven on C-Mac Bagging Machines for many years.

Typical applications include feeding to packaging, batching, mixing, drying and similar applications.

  • Flow-extraction from silo / hopper
  • Flow-regulation for weighing equipment
  • Flow-feeding for / in process lines Feeding weighing scales
  • Dosing powders into mixing machines
  • Spreading material over wide conveyors
  • Maintaining constant flow into/feeding bucket elevators or conveyors
  • Packaging equipment
  • Metering product from bins or hoppers
  • Food processing and chemical industries, plastics, metal parts, chemicals and ceramics

Hot and cold materials are easily handled.

How they work

A Feeder consists of a Trough attached to a drive via Leaf Springs within the drive the trough is vibrated at high speed by an electromagnet inside the drive. The magnet pulls the trough sharply down and back – then the springs return it up and forward to its original position. As the trough is pulled back and down, the material falls vertically to a new position forward in the trough. This action repeated at high speed causes the material to flow.
Features

  • Extremely accurate feed rate controls are an additional benefit of the electromagnetic feeder. These highly reliable feeders are rated for continuous duty and provide a constant feed rate even under varying head loads and with different material characteristics.
  • Variable speed control
  • Large openings prevent bridging
  • No moving parts for operator’s safety
  • Very low maintenance requirements with few moving parts, no lubrication or greasing. Maintenance is kept to an absolute minimum.
  • Quiet operating
  • Low power consumption
  • Encased in dust-tight housing
  • Stainless Steel Chute

Problems we have solved for customers                   Read Testimonials

*[Purchasing Officer]* A mining design and machining company needed help with machining components urgently as they were too busy to keep up with the demand. C-Mac machined the components so the deadline could be met.

*[Owner]* An industrial laundry system service company needed repairs and redesign done to their tooling. C-Mac made changes to the tooling to make access and ease of use to decrease service down times.

*[Maintenance Engineer]* An industrial hydraulic fitting manufacturer had problems with gear and shaft breakages with their machinery. They also had problems repairing and maintaining. C-Mac offered to repair and maintain their machinery on-site instead of having to permanently employ fitters.

*[Nursery Owner]* Needed a specific Potting & Mixing machine. for his yuccas nursery, but the problem was it was no longer manufactured. From his description and specifications our engineers designed and modelled in 3D software his requirements. "Potting Machine":nursery-equipment/3-potting-machines/ was manufactured and fully tested with potting media in our workshop, video was then sent to customer who was very pleased with the results. Machine disassembled and freighted interstate and installed.

*[RAAF - Warrant Officer]* Airfield support staff required a portable sandbagging frame and requested a design, prototype and trials at no cost. There was nothing suitable on the market i.e. made in Australia. "Sandbagging Frames":materials-handling/1-bagging-equipment#silt-bagging-frame are now on the national procurement data base and some probably overseas at different war zones.

*[Nursery Manager]* At an exhibition saw our self tracking nursery trailers and indicated he had a costly issue transporting large (heavy) pots containing advanced trees. Existing method was a bobcat. C-Mac designed and quoted for the manufacture of a Self Tracking “Low Loader”. His comment on the first day of using "Low Loader trailer":nursery-equipment/7-trailers/#low-loader-self-tracking-trailer “Can now move 100 litre pots with trees, 150 metres in 1 hr and not get a sore back”.

*[Mechanical Design Engineer]* An automotive transmission design customer needed help with designing an automatic transmission gear prototype. We suggested and engineered a more cost effective and practical way for the mass production stage.

*[Service Manager]* An industrial fan service company had a failure of a major shopping centre air conditioning fan/ blower. C-Mac repaired the unit within a 24hr turn around for minimum downtime.

*[Owner/Manager]* A major food manufacturer specializing in tomato sauce had a filling machine breakdown. The machine was brought to C-Mac and repaired in 24hrs for minimum downtime of the production line costing $5,000 per hour.

*[General Manager]* Customer had to submit a proposal and compete against other countries for the manufacturing facility. C-Mac submitted drawings to show there was space in existing plant to install the new process and to comply with all Australian OH&S Standards. Working together with customer to submit proposal to the Head Office overseas WON the contract. Project was a success meeting 6month lead time and budget.
