FEEDING DEVICES

  • Choice of feeder type depends on the physical properties of the specific material
  • Vibrating feeders are designed for supplying bulk, fine-grained, dice materials with a fraction of at most 20 mm, a density of at most 2 g/cm3, not prone to sticking during their transportation at an ambient temperature from -30° up to +50°
  • It is expedient to use swinging tray-type feeders for unloading the lumpy materials with changing humidity and particle size fluctuations (dolomite, limestone, frozen sand, crushed glass)
  • Dosing of microadditives (glass mass colorants and decolorizers) is performed with the help of spiral screw feeders with material agitators
  • The lining pads made of abrasive-resistant material, Castolin overlay welding on screw blades, Castolin powdering on screw housings are used to increase the service life
  • All feeders are made in a dust-proof housing, connecting flanges with seals ensure absence of emission of dust-like materials at the docking points with other equipment
