Feeding System A vibrating feeder is a device used to move bulk materials from one place to another by using vibrations caused by an electric motor. The vibrating feeder is commonly utilized in mining and quarrying industries for feeding rocks and minerals into a crusher or conveyor belt. The feeder consists of a pan, which is a flat bottomed tray that holds the material being fed. It also has springs mounted on it, which are attached to an electric motor at each end. The vibration generated by the motor causes the springs to oscillate back and forth, transferring their motion to the pan. This movement conveys the materials along the feeder in the desired direction. A vibrating feeder can be adjusted to suit different feeding requirements. Its speed can be changed by adjusting the angle of the vibrating components or altering the amplitude of the vibrations. In some cases, a vibrating feeder may also have a separate drive for each side of the pan, allowing for more precise control over the material flow. In addition to its common use in mining and quarrying, vibrating feeders are also used in various other industries such as manufacturing, food processing, and chemical production. They can be used to feed materials into mixers, dryers, and other types of processing equipment.
