Vibrating Feeder — VFT-Type Chute
Purpose (function): linear uniform feeding (transport) of the product (stone, coal, lime, etc.) from the collecting hoppers at any vehicle or dosing equipment (conveyor, feeder, bucket conveyer, etc.) of the process chain.
Operating principle: vibrating feeder-chute by a flange at the top of receibing hopper is attached to a collecting hopper filled with material. When the vibration motor is on, discharge of material in the chute starts. To reduce the vibration loads, the chute is mounted on springs-absorbers. Device operating mode – cyclic/continuous.

FB-Type Feeder-Batcher
Purpose (function): weighing of an exact batch (portion) of the product capable of adjusting speed of product discharge from the hopper.
Operating principle: mounted on strain gauges, receiving hopper of the device allows weighing products coming into it. After product loading into the hopper, the device is immediately ready for subsequent discharging of a batch (portion). Vibrochute of feeder-batcher discharges a batch (portion) of the product with the help of two vibration motors. Vibration motors provide linear product displacement on the chute. The product discharge rate can be controlled through the unbalance of vibration motors’ eccentrics.
