Selecting Vibratory Feeders for Difficult Product Flows

Dec. 2, 2022
Eriez's video demonstrates how different electromagnetic vibratory feeder models handle challenging bulk food materials of varying sizes and shapes.

Electromagnetic vibratory feeders and conveyors from Eriez can feed practically any bulk material from micron size to bulky chunks. This video shows how the patented Hi-Vi design produces vibrations to effectively convey even the most difficult-to-feed product flows. Also shown are the different trajectory patterns for three different feeder models.

  • Eriez Model C Feeders provide the best linearity in the industry. Special construction is also available for Class II, Group F and G installation.
  • Eriez Model HS (High-Speed) Feeders have been designed for exceptionally high-speed feeding of light, bulky materials. They provide greater economy and efficiency in feeding, filling, etc., and are ideal for use in conjunction with many weigh scale and packaging machines. These feeders operate at speeds up to 75% greater than standard models.
  • Eriez Model HD Vibratory Feeders combine the higher deflection 3/16-in. (4.8 mm) and lower frequency (30 cps) advantages of a mechanical feeder with the trouble-free service of an electromagnetic feeder. Model HD is designed to handle powders and leafy products that normally could not be fed successfully in an electromagnetic feeder. Feed rates of up to 80 ft/min. (24 m/min) are possible for products with a bulk density of less than 10 lb/ft3 (.16 gm/cc).
