Syntron® Electromagnetic Feeders - FMC Technologies

Syntron ® Heavy-Duty Vibrating FeedersSyntron ® Vibrating Feeders for heavy industry are ideal for feeding a widevariety of bulk materials from storage piles, hoppers, bins and silos. Ruggedand dependable, Syntron heavy-duty feeders are backed by years of serviceprovenperformance in the mining, aggregates, glass, cement, chemical,wood products and steel industries.Syntron Vibrating Feeders are designed to increase bulk handling productivitywith high, controlled feed rates to improve cost-per-ton efficiency.Electromagnetic and electromechanical models are available. With capacityranges from 25 to 4,000 tons per hour, these feeders are ideally suited forhigh-tonnage feeding. Feeder selection should include consideration of productionrequirements, material characteristics, and operating environment.Syntron Vibrating Feeders are sub-resonant tuned, two-mass, spring-connectedsystems. These features enable Syntron feeders to work consistently undermaterial damping and other varying headload conditions with negligiblechanges in trough stroke. Sub-resonant tuning maintains stroke consistencyand speed stability, thus delivering higher capacities at controlled feed rates.Precise, sub-resonant tuning is a key characteristic of both types of Syntronvibrating feeders. Electromagnetic models are tuned through careful calculationof the number and thickness of the special leaf springs required toaccomplish the desired tuning ratio. Electromechanical models are tuned byadjusting the operating speed to obtain the exact tuning ratio. Because subresonanttuning is so critical to feeder performance, a detailed explanationis provided for electromagnetic feeders on page 6 and for electromechanicalfeeders on page 15.Dependable, flexible control sets Syntron vibrating feeders apart from otherfeeding and conveying machinery. Material feed rates are controlled andeasily adjusted with Syntron solid-state controls; a wide range of standardand special models is available. Control devices can also be supplied forintegration into systems that use external signals from automatic sensingdevices. In addition, control arrangements are available for selecting andsequencing a group of feeders.Electromagnetic FeederSyntron ® F-SeriesElectromagnetic FeederElectromechanical FeedersSyntron ® MF ElectromechanicalFeederSyntron ® RF ElectromechanicalFeederMaterial Handling Solutions3www.fmctechnologies.com/materialhandling
