Frequently Asked Questions

A vibrating feeder is installed at the beginning of a crushing or screening line to deliver raw material from a hopper or stockpile to the primary crusher (usually a jaw crusher) at a controlled, steady rate. It prevents surge loading on the crusher, protects conveyor belts from impact damage, and allows operators to regulate the feed rate to match downstream equipment capacity — improving overall plant efficiency and reducing unplanned downtime.

A vibrating feeder uses vibratory motion to convey material along a trough and is best suited for dry, free-flowing materials up to medium lump sizes (≤1,200mm) at capacities up to 3,000 t/h. It has a simpler structure, lower maintenance cost, and smaller footprint. An apron feeder uses interlocking steel pans on a chain drive and is designed for heavy-duty feeding of very large, sharp, or abrasive materials that would damage a vibrating trough. The choice depends on material size, shape, and abrasiveness.

Feed rate is controlled by adjusting the vibration amplitude and frequency of the exciter. On models equipped with a frequency converter (VFD), the feed rate can be adjusted steplessly from the control panel during operation without stopping the machine. The feed rate can also be regulated by changing the eccentric weight configuration on fixed-speed models. For fully automated plants, feed rate control can be integrated with a weigh belt feeder or PLC system for closed-loop control.

Yes, but the feeder must be properly sized for the hopper opening and the maximum material load. Vibrating feeders are typically installed under a steel grizzly bar section at the feed end, which pre-screens fines and protects the feeder trough from direct impact of large rocks falling from a significant height. Proper hopper design (with sloped walls, liners, and controlled drop height) is critical to maximizing feeder service life.

The main wear items are the trough liner plates (replaceable steel or rubber liners), the exciter bearings, and the grizzly bars at the feed end. Liner plates in the impact zone under the hopper typically last 6–18 months depending on material abrasiveness and lump size. Exciter bearings should be re-greased every 200–300 operating hours and replaced when noise or temperature rise indicates fatigue.
