Electromagnetic Feeder
Electromechanical Feeders
Syntron Vibrating Feeders are sub-resonant tuned, two-mass, springconnected systems. These features enable Syntron feeders to work
consistently under material damping and other varying headload conditions
with negligible changes in trough stroke. Sub-resonant tuning maintains
stroke consistency and speed stability, thus delivering higher capacities
at controlled feed rates.
Precise, sub-resonant tuning is a key characteristic of both types of
Syntron vibrating feeders. Electromagnetic models are tuned through
careful calculation of the number and thickness of the special leaf springs
required to accomplish the desired tuning ratio. Electromechanical models
are tuned by adjusting the operating speed to obtain the exact tuning
ratio. Because sub-resonant tuning is so critical to feeder performance, a
detailed explanation is provided for electromagnetic feeders on page 6
and for electromechanical feeders on page 17.
Dependable, flexible control sets Syntron vibrating feeders apart from
other feeding and conveying machinery. Material feed rates are controlled
and easily adjusted with Syntron solid-state controls; a wide range of
standard and special models is available. Control devices can also be
supplied for integration into systems that use external signals from
automatic sensing devices. In addition, control arrangements are available
for selecting and sequencing a group of feeders.

* Based on dry sand weighing 100 pounds per cubic foot. Capacities vary depending on drive unit location, material characteristics, material
density, trough length and width, trough liner type, feeder installation, skirt boards and hopper transitions.
Syntron Electromagnetic
Feeders are normally installed
by suspension mounting with
four flexible wire rope cables.
They can also be supplied for
base mounting on a solid base,
or with a combination of base
mounting and suspension
mounting.
Syntron Electromagnetic Feeders are ideal for use in a stationary operation such
as a tunnel system from a surge pile. They are usually controlled from a remote
point to provide the desired feed rate. In this application,
a model FH-22 feeds limestone to a belt conveyor.

Capacities for feeder models with standard troughs are based on dry sand
weighing 100 pounds per cubic foot. Capacities vary depending on drive unit
location, material characteristics, material density, trough length and width,
trough liner type, feeder installation, skirt boards and hopper transitions.
Several trough options are available for special applications. Syntron extralong feeder troughs can be supplied with either below-deck or above-deck
multiple electromagnetic drive units. Extra-long feeder troughs provide many
advantages in conveying materials over long distances; unlike belt conveyors,
there are no idlers or pulley drive units to wear, lubricate, or replace. Long
tubular troughs can convey pure, clean materials without atmospheric contamination and safely convey dusty, poisonous materials without endangering
processing personnel.

Response is instantaneous. Control devices can be
supplied for integration in systems using external
signals from automatic sensing devices in instruments. Special control arrangements are also
available for selecting and sequencing a group of
feeders.
Trough Selection
Feeder troughs for RF and MF feeders are one-piece
unitized weldments providing a rigid durable
trough to meet application requirements. Troughs
with bolt-together construction are available for
tunnel installations or other confined areas.
Standard finish includes a heavy-duty epoxy
enamel. Stainless steel troughs are also available.
Special coatings and trough liners are available
options to satisfy application requirements.

Recommended Designs for Hoppers and Transitions
Feeder Transition Hoppers
Feeder capacity depends on the design of the hopper. Material characteristics such as size distribution, shear properties and cohesiveness generally
dictate the configuration of feeder transition hoppers. Material flow
velocities vary, depending upon material properties, feeder stroke and
operating speed.
Good transition hopper design optimizes flow rate, resulting in the most
economical choice of a feeder. Improperly designed transition hoppers
will substantially reduce feeder capacities.
Figure 1 illustrates Ideal and Acceptable Hopper designs.The Ideal Hopper
with a throat (T) to gate height (H) ratio of 0.6 shows a uniform material
flow pattern to the feeder trough. Material at the front and rear of the
hopper moves at nearly the same velocity, and the discharge depth (d) is
nearly equal to the hopper gate height. The Ideal Hopper design allows
the most economical feeder to be used.
The Acceptable Hopper design may require a slightly larger feeder than
required for the Ideal Hopper design. This is due to the non-uniform
flow pattern of material at the rear of the hopper. Material flow velocity
is reduced, material depth d is reduced and there is a reduction in feeder
capacity. A T/H ratio of 0.6 to 1.0 is generally acceptable. However, when
the T/H ratio exceeds this range, the material flow patterns distort
drastically and will significantly reduce capacities.
T

GF = Gate Factor
R = Flow Rate (ft/min) See Chart
W = Feeder Width (inches)
C (tph) =
Maximum capacity
4800
H (in) = GF x d (in)
If material size is +4-in to -12-in with a trough down slope of 10 , use 50 ft/min.
Feeder down slope usually effects flow rate by 2% per degree. As down slope
increases flow rate increases. As down slope decreases flow rate decreases.
