Precision is vital in the world of industrial processing. The ability to control the flow rate of bulk materials, whether they are powders, granules, or pellets, is a fundamental requirement across various industries. The critical task is handled by feeders that orchestrate the seamless transfer of materials from hoppers or bins to receiving equipment. We take pride in offering a range of high-quality feeders that cater to the unique needs of any application.
DMN – Rotary Airlock Feeders
Rotary Airlock Feeders play a crucial role in metering and feeding products as well as serving as a containment device for potentially explosive environments. They are designed to handle a wide variety of dry bulk materials with remarkable precision and flow consistency. The feeding function serves as a reliable interface between different parts of a processing system and prevents air leakage while consistently feeding. There are a variety of options between a basic carbon steel unit up to a highly polished, USDA dairy valve. Each valve is designed around the product, application, and desired certified NFPA or ATEX rating.
- NFPA Rating: The Nation Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has guidelines for the safe handling of materials in various industries. It identifies the degree of severity of the health, flammability, and instability hazards.
- ATEX Rating: In potentially explosive atmospheres, adherence to Atmospheres Explosible (ATEX) is mandatory.
Eriez Vibratory Feeders
Eriez recognizes that every application is unique, and that’s why they offer both electromagnetic and mechanical vibratory feeders.
- Electromagnetic vibratory feeders utilize electromagnetic coils to generate defined, controlled vibrations. They are ideal for pharmaceutical and food industries with control over material flow rate.
- Mechanical vibratory feeders are robust and reliable. They are designed for use where durability and simplicity are essential, such as mining or heavy manufacturing. They tend to be more suitable for more rugged environments.
We are also able to offer the vibratory feeders with flat trays, tube trays, and can even incorporate screeners. Tray material options are offered in both carbon and stainless steel. Lastly, the Eriez feeders come with a vast range in production rates to accompany a few cups of material all the way to tons per hour.
Tecweigh Feeders
Volumetric and gravimetric feeders are both simple in design and feature few moving parts. Though they share similar basics, gravimetric feeders take precision to the next level.
- Gravimetric feeders, often referred to as “loss-in-weight feeders,” measures the feed rate in terms of weight. These feeders incorporate a weighing system that continuously measures the weight while being dispensed.
- Volumetric feeders measure feed rate by volume. It operates on a straightforward principle: material flows through the feeder at a constant speed, and the volume of material dispensed per unit of time determines the feed rate. These feeders are best suitable for applications where precise weight measurements are not critical and involve more free-flowing materials.
In the ever-evolving landscape of material handling, one name stands out when looking for customization, flexibility, and efficiency: Dynequip. We not only offer a wide range of feeders designed to meet the needs of any application, but also transcend the boundaries of conveyance systems with our flex augers. With a considerable number of customization and integration options to cater to every need, Dynequip can produce industrial-grade solutions and reliability to shape the future of material handling.
