Vibratory Feeders

ACTION offers a wide range of performance-proven vibratory feeders. Like all ACTION vibratory equipment, each feeder is engineered with appropriate stroke, R.P.M., and declination for efficient conveying and metering of bulk materials. Mating hoppers, gates, screen sections, distribution domes, and other features can be integrated.

Feeder Trough Material & Shape
Generously sized standard or custom troughs can be furnished in carbon steel, stainless steel, or abrasion resistant materials with finishes to suit. Specially designed feeders can be configured in a wide variety of widths, depths, lengths, shapes, and thicknesses to suit application requirements.
Vibration Isolation
Isolation springs minimize the transfer of dynamic loads to support structures / foundations and can be either foot-mounted or arranged for suspension support.
Supports
Structural steel supports are individually designed to meet elevation requirements.
In-feed Configurations
Material containment is achieved with skirting “high sides” and distribution with material spreader domes.
Drive Adapter
Internally reinforced with a network of full depth stiffeners for reliable long life operation.
Vibration Isolation
Isolation springs minimize the transfer of dynamic loads to support structures / foundations and can be either foot-mounted or arranged for suspension support.
Optional Screen Section

Screening while conveying adds utility. All screen sections are modular, easily changeable, and available in a variety of media types such as:

  • TAPER-SLOT® Screen
  • Wire Mesh
  • Perforated Plate
  • Wedge Wire
  • Polyurethane or Rubber
  • Rod or Bar Elements
  • Grizzly Scalper
  • and more…
Centrifugal Feeder Motor
Feeder motors generate vibrations mechanically via. adjustable eccentric weights attached to a rotating shaft. Motor mounting is above, below, or on the trough side with operating speeds to suit the application.
Impact / Wear Liner
Liners protect the underlying structure from wear and can be welded or bolted.

Benefits

Dynamic Balancing
Eliminates costly and bulky support structures.

Rugged Construction
Frames are rigid with longitudinal and transverse reinforcing members.

Dependable Long Service Life
ACTION vibratory feeders are manufactured to exacting tolerances and provide years of reliable service in the toughest environments.

High Capacity
High intensity vibration increases material flow rates and productivity.

Fewer Parts
No gears, V-belt drives, bearings or bushings. Fewer parts minimize maintenance.

Advantages

Base Activated Feeder

  • Consistent strokes on pan and base, side-to-side and end-to-end. There is no sensitive overhung exciter prone to rocking and side frequencies.
  • Negligible dynamic loads. No need for additional, often costly, sympathetic base systems for elevated installations. Unit supports can be minimized.
  • Longer pan strokes on the order of 2x
  • 2-Mass Natural frequency design with single base-mounted low horsepower centrifugal motor for energy efficiency
  • No complex drive adapter gusset matrix with significant welding
  • No concentrated drive adapter stresses typical of a direct drive “brute force” dual motor feeder.
  • Reaction springs are evenly distributed and easier to access than tightly packed overhung exciter designs.
  • Feed rate can be adjusted electrically via a VFD.

Two Mass Feeder

Reduce Energy Consumption

ACTION’s two-mass natural frequency, single motor, vibrating feeders generate circular motion and use substantially less horsepower to achieve the same amount of work as dual motor (direct drive or brute force) designs.

Full Size Hopper Openings

Two-mass feeders permit larger hopper openings and promote material flow with less chance for jamming or bridging in hopper throats.

Automatic Load Compensation

Two-Mass feeders are tuned to increase vibratory force to compensate for material head loads, without dampening, for consistent material feed-rate control.

Direct Drive Feeder

Reliable & Rugged
Practical and easy to use, ACTION single-mass dual motor vibrating feeders provide linear motion and are a practical option for many applications. Direct Drive Feeders are driven by two counter-rotating vibrators which are the only mechanical working parts on the unit.

Under Mill Oscillator & Feeder

Built Like a Tank Our ultra tough and durable under mill oscillators and feeders are designed for the harsh environment under your hammermill shredder.

  • Extra heavy duty replaceable liners
  • Rear mounted drive for easy maintenance access
  • Explosion stops to protect components

Coil spring and direct-drive designs are available.

VIBRA-DISCHARGER®

The VIBRA-DISCHARGER® is a high-capacity vibratory feeder for the activating, metering, and feeding of granular bulk materials from hoppers, bins, and silos. Materials discharge vertically to a take-away conveyor below with symmetrical product distribution.Click here for more information
