Application
A metal waste company was after a hopper feeder and finger screen to size nonferrous metals. The metals would feed from a conveyor belt onto a hopper feeder which would then transfer to a finger screen.
Solution
Vibroflow designed and manufactured a integrated hopper feeder and finger screen that operated at a rate of 16TPH.
We built the hopper feeder with high flared sides to catch and product that would jump around, the hopper feeder then gradually transferred product onto the finger screen.
The finger screen featured two tapered finger screen panels, the first which was 30mm aperture and the second was 70mm aperture. The finger screen also had 4 side discharge chutes, two which were built in the 30mm screen section for the removal of product smaller than 30mm and 2 that were built in the 70mm screen section that would remove product smaller than 70mm.
Features of this unit include:
Hopper feeder
- Flared mild steel body
- 8mm thick mild steel plates on bottom and sides
- 1 vibratory motor
- Powder coated steel coil drive springs
- Fibreglass stabiliser springs
- Powder coated steel coil isolation springs
- Mild steel isolation/spring location pads
- Material depth gate located at the discharge end of feeder
Finger Screen
- Mild steel trough body
- 30mm aperture tapered finger screen panel
- 70mm aperture tapered finger screen panel
- 8mm stick mild steel plates on bottom and sides
- 10mm thick mild steel landing plate
- 2 vibratory motors
- Powder coated steel coil drive springs
- Fibreglass stabiliser springs
- Mild steel isolating/spring location pads
- 2 side discharge chute for product size minus 30mm with built in screening section for removal of particles smaller than 5mm
- 2 side discharge chute for product size minus 70mm
