ELEVATING HOPPER FEEDER
Elevating hopper feeder is mostly used to carry / discharge heavier materials to varying heights vertically above shop floor level. The material from the hopper is carried along belt or slat chain or roller chains by means of carriers or buckets to the desired height in an oriented condition.
The widths and heights are custom-built to suit individual application and customer depending on the material. The drive consists of a 3-phase motor, gear-box along with a motor starter or a control panel.
APPLICATION
- Components feeding to single and multi-spindle automats, presses, special purpose machines in the oriented condition.
- Discharging components to rotary vibrator located at different heights.
- Powder and granular material feeding to mixing and moulding machines in Food, Pharmaceutical and Plastic industries.
ELECTRICALS (OPTIONAL FEATURES)
- DC Drive for variable speed.
- Auto ON/OFF control panel to operate elevator feeder on auto cycle controlled by a proximity sensor fitted on a magazine chute.
SALIENT FEATURES
- Fixed or mobile hoppers.
- Mobile hoppers will reduce down-time 'in loading by inter-changing of the hopper.
- Linear vibrator is provided below the hopper to feed exact quantity of the material to the elevating media.
- The parts can be oriented at the exit end by using a linear vibrator.
