FEEDER

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
 - FMC Technologies' Syntron® vibrating conveyors and Link-Belt® conveyor products deliver numerous solutions to maximize bulk conveying productivity. When it comes to conveying, the goal is clear: successful transport or transfer of bulk materials from one process or location to another at maximum speed with minimal product degradation.

 - Syntron® vibrating conveyors provide cost-efficient, low maintenance vibratory conveying solutions for a variety of bulk products such as metal, glass, wood products and chemicals. Syntron® conveyor products include Flexmount Oscillating Conveyors and Coilmount Oscillating Conveyors.

BENEFITS
 : Efficient Material Handling
 - Feeders provide efficient material handling by delivering a consistent and controlled flow of material. This ensures a smooth and reliable supply of material to downstream processes, optimizing productivity and minimizing production disruptions.

 : Improved Process Accuracy
 - Feeders enable precise and accurate material dosing, ensuring the right amount of material is delivered at the required rate. This is crucial for applications that require precise ingredient proportions or specific feed rates, such as batching, mixing, or blending processes.

 : Increased Product Quality
 - Properly controlled feeding with feeders helps maintain consistent material flow, preventing overfeeding or underfeeding. This contributes to improved product quality, uniformity, and consistency in manufacturing processes, ensuring products meet desired specifications and standards.

 : Enhanced Equipment Protection
 - Feeders play a vital role in protecting downstream equipment. By delivering a regulated flow of material, feeders help prevent overloading, clogging, or damaging equipment like crushers, mills, or conveyors. This extends the lifespan of equipment, reduces maintenance costs, and minimizes production downtime.

 : Dust Suppression and Environmental Compliance
 - Certain feeder systems incorporate dust suppression mechanisms, such as enclosures or dust collection systems. This helps control airborne dust emissions, improves workplace safety, and ensures compliance with environmental regulations.

FUNCTION
 : Material Dosing
 - Feeders are used to precisely and accurately dose materials in a controlled manner. They ensure the right amount of material is delivered at a specified rate, which is important in processes that require precise ingredient proportions or specific feed rates.

 : Material Distribution
 - Feeders distribute materials evenly and uniformly across a specified area or onto a moving surface. This is particularly useful in applications such as spreading bulk materials on conveyors, in stockpiles, or in blending and mixing operations.

 : Material Conveyance
 - Feeders transport materials from one location to another, either horizontally or vertically. They can transfer materials from storage bins, hoppers, or silos to downstream equipment, such as conveyors, crushers, screens, or processing units.

 : Material Flow Regulation
 - Feeders regulate the flow of materials, preventing overfeeding or underfeeding. This ensures a consistent and controlled flow of material, avoiding equipment overload, material spillage, or production disruptions.

 : Equipment Protection
 - Feeders play a critical role in protecting downstream equipment from damage or malfunction. By controlling the material flow and preventing overloading, feeders safeguard equipment such as crushers, mills, screens, and conveyors, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

CAUTION
Caution should be exercised when using feeders to ensure safe and efficient operation. Operators should receive proper training on the equipment, including understanding its functionality, controls, and safety features. It is important to follow manufacturer guidelines and safety procedures when operating the feeder. Regular maintenance and inspection of the feeder should be conducted to identify and address any potential issues that could affect its performance or safety. Operators should also be aware of material compatibility and avoid overloading the feeder beyond its specified capacity. By taking these precautions, the risks associated with feeder operation can be minimized, promoting a safe working environment.
