for dust-proof dosing of bulk material
IFE vibrating tubular feeders with electromagnetic drive are suitable for discharging materials from bins and for conveying bulk materials. The completely enclosed design of the vibro conveyor tubes is ideal for bulk materials that tend to generate dust or which need to be protected from external contamination. The vibro conveyor tubes are designed as a welded or bolted construction, driven by an IFE magnetic vibrator.
IFE vibrating tubular feeders are designed and manufactured specifically to the application. Based on clients demand a wide variety of versions are available:
- tube made of mild or wear resistant steel, stainless or acid-proof steel
- multiple inlet and outlet nozzles possible
- manually or automatically operated slide gates
- feeder available on swivel frames for optimized material distribution
- bolted design for easy exchange of tube
- long distances covered by stringed together feeders
Robust and enduring
The IFE electromagnetic drive and the feeder or tube form a vibrating system consisting of two masses. The excitation of the vibration is made by the pumping force of the magnet being connected to the mains via an IFE-control unit. The amplitude of the vibration can be adjusted while in operation. These electromagnetic drives are manufactured for robustness and are dust- and splashproof due to the total enclosed design.
