If you work with granulated materials in the industrial process, you will know that these are difficult to handle. The nature of these elements makes loading and weighing difficult, making it very difficult to maintain control over them. However, to avoid this type of problems, different types of feeders can be used. Below, we show you which one you should choose for your company based on your needs. Continue reading.
Belt feeder
This machine is especially aimed at feeding and dosing bulk materials. It is usually used with different elements such as carbonates or gypsum, although it is recommended to use it especially with clays, since a cleaner and more profitable solution is achieved for the storage of pastes with humidity, being considered suitable for both semi-humid and dry methods.
Apart from its versatility, another of the many advantages that this equipment offers is its ability to work with different types of hardness.
On the other hand, it has different installation facilities, and can be placed under a large hopper, so that it works as a bottom scraper or as a feeder so that it can benefit other machines, making the work of several pieces of equipment with different functions possible. time.
Alveolar feeder
It has very similar characteristics to the previous machinery. However, it differs in its final result, since, like the belt feeder, it is recommended for clay materials, but it is ideal for the storage of materials with average humidity around 6-10%, while the belt feeder It is usually indicated with a somewhat higher parameter, 12-16%.
Auger feeder
It is also similar to the previous machines, but more types of materials can be processed such as alternative fuels (CDR), biomass, urban and industrial solid waste, etc. Like the previous ones, it differs in the granulometry of the optimal materials with which it works, which is 0-80mm, while the recommended humidity is on the average scale of the band or alveolar type, since it is recommended if there is between 14-16% of this factor.
After this explanation, you surely already know what type of industrial feeder you need in your business. Do not hesitate to contact us and request a quote.
