It is widely used in many manufacturing units to control the removal or discharge of large amounts of materials from storage systems to the conveyor belt. It is very useful for handling small-sized particles and abrasive materials.
- Three Drum Feeder:It is also named as bagasse feeder, which is made with premium quality raw materials like stainless steel or carbon steel for excellent performance. This feeder has three drums; each one is rotated for the material’s movement along the feeder. Each drum is equipped with a separate outlet to discharge a huge quantity of materials.
- Twin Drum Feeder: As per its name suggests, this feeder has two or dual drums, which are cylindrical. Each drum is connected to an electric motor and VFD (variable frequency drive) for accurate speed.
