Feeder Machines
Simple design and flexible control account for the efficient, economical performance of Syntron® Volumetric Feeder Machines, and the growing industrial
preference for them. These units can feed most dry bulk materials and can be supplied to conform to FDA and USDA specifications. Six Syntron® Volumetric
Feeder Machine models are available.
Syntron® Volumetric Feeder Machine designs include four basic components: a supply hopper, a hopper vibrator, a vibrating feeder and the supporting
frame. Supply hoppers are usually fabricated from mild steel but are available in stainless steel. Most supply hoppers are conical; however, rectangular
hoppers are an option. Adjusting the gate height between the hopper and feeder trough regulates material depth for most models. Material depth for
model FM-T0 is regulated by hopper tilt.
Arching, plugging or bridging of materials in the hopper is prevented through incorporation of a Syntron electromagnetic vibrator. The hopper vibrator
features a variable power control, assuring free flow of material to the feeder trough. Vibrating feeders on the Syntron Volumetric Feeder Machines
operate at 3,600 vpm (at 60 Hz) and trough options include flat pan (standard), V-shaped, tubular or screening troughs of mild or stainless steel.
Because of their simple design, Syntron® Volumetric Feeder Machines are dependable and have an exceptionally long service life. There are no moving
parts such as motors, belts, gears, valves, connecting arms or sliding rods to wear or lubricate.
Drives on Syntron® vibrating feeders are available with dust-proof, dust-tight and waterproof construction. For dust-tight sealing, special covered or
tubular troughs feature flexible seals on the discharge end of the supply hopper. In addition, flexible seals that seal the top of the supply hopper
to an overhead chute, as well as removable dust covers for the supply hopper are available. These units are virtually noiseless, meeting applicable
OSHA specifications. Even at maximum feed, a hum is the only indication that the machine is operating.
Syntron® Volumetric Feeder Machines are supplied with electric controls that can be mounted separately at any desired location. Standard controls contain
operating switches, rectifiers and rheostats. The electric control regulates the feed rate by varying the vibrating intensity of the electromagnetic
feeder. A graduated dial on the control panel permits variation of the flow speeds. Timers are also available to provide intermittent feed.
Capacities of Syntron Volumetric Feeder Machines vary with different materials. Lighter and finer materials result in less capacity and heavier materials
result in higher capacities.
Syntron offers 6 models of Volumetric Feeder machine: FM-T0-3/4, FM-T01-1, FM-010-3, FM-152-3, FM-212-3 and FM-22-50. Syntron Material Handling offers
custom design services to meet specific customer needs.
