Tilt feeder is a kind of material handling equipment that is commonly used in industrial production. It transports materials from storage equipment to the work area through the rotation of the pendulum, and is usually used in material transportation in building materials, chemical, metallurgy, mining and other industries.
Tilt feeders have the following advantages over other material handling equipment:
Uniform and reliable feeding: During the operation of the pendulum feeder, the material is conveyed through the vibration and rotation of the pendulum rod, so that the material can be transported to the required operation site evenly and reliably, which meets the needs of material transportation in the production process.
Long conveying distance: The pendulum feeder can be expanded according to actual needs, and multiple pendulum rods can be added as needed when used, which greatly increases the distance and height of material conveying, and is suitable for manufacturing processes with long production line lengths.
Good adjustability: The pendulum feeder can be adjusted according to the actual situation in different production scenarios. For example, the speed and angle of material conveyance can be changed by adjusting the length of the pendulum to accommodate different process requirements, while also facilitating maintenance and replacement of components.
Small size and small footprint: The design of the pendulum feeder is relatively compact, and the required floor space is small, which can be adapted to a variety of production environments.
Low energy consumption: When the pendulum feeder is working, it only needs to rotate and vibrate through the motor to drive the pendulum rod, which is lower than other conveying equipment, and does not need additional substances such as lubricating oil, which saves production costs.
However, there are also some drawbacks to pendulum feeders:
Suitable for some specific materials: The pendulum feeder may not be suitable for some flammable, explosive, and sticky materials, and may cause safety hazards or block pipelines during transportation.
Each component of the pendulum feeder is directly related to the performance of the equipment, so it needs to be inspected and repaired regularly, and the maintenance is difficult.
It is not suitable for conveying powdery materials, which is easy to cause blockage and affect the feeding, and will also cause powder to fly and affect the cleanliness of the workplace.
When choosing whether to use a pendulum feeder, it needs to be determined according to the specific production process and needs. If the production scenario meets the advantages of the pendulum feeder and can effectively solve its shortcomings, then the pendulum feeder can become a viable upgrade and replacement equipment to improve production efficiency and output quality.
