The working principle of the multifunctional feeder mainly relies on the motor driving the rotor to rotate, allowing the material to enter the machine’s hopper. Then, through the rotation of the rotor and the vibration, ejection and other effects of the shell, the material is transported from the hopper to the target position.
Specifically, its working principle can be divided into the following key steps:
Discharge port adjustment: The discharge port of the feeder can be adjusted according to different materials and conveying needs. By adjusting the size and opening degree of the discharge port, the flow rate and conveying speed of the materials can be controlled.
Rotation of rotor: The key component of the feeder is the rotor, which is generally composed of multiple spiral blades. After the electric motor starts, the rotor will begin to rotate at high speed.
Material entering the silo: The material will enter the silo through the feeding port of the feeder. Inside the silo, the material will be affected by the rotation of the rotor and the vibration of the shell, and begin to move towards the discharge port.
Material transportation: The material starts from the silo and is transported along the direction of rotation of the rotor. During this process, the material is pushed by the rotor blades and affected by the vibration of the shell, producing a motion trajectory similar to a spiral line.
Material discharge: When the material reaches the discharge port, it will be pushed out of the feeder and transported to the target position. Proper control of the size and opening degree of the discharge port can achieve precise control of material flow rate and conveying speed.
In addition, the multifunctional feeder also has some special functions, such as the ability to easily and continuously adjust the feeding amount by adjusting the thyristor opening angle, and can achieve centralized and automatic control of the production process. These functions make multifunctional feeders widely applicable in industrial production.
