Syntron® Electromagnetic Feeders - FMC Technologies

Syntron ® Electromagnetic FeedersSyntron ® Heavy-Duty Electromagnetic FeedersBulk material feeding with full-range control.Syntron ® Heavy-Duty ElectromagneticFeeders come in tendifferent models with capacitiesranging from 25 to 1600 tons perhour.* These versatile feeders arecapable of handling a variety ofmaterials from the finest powdersto large, coarse particles.Syntron Electromagnetic Feederscan be supplied in various configurationsincluding multiple- driveunits and above-deck drive units.Above-deck drive units are recommendedwhere there is insufficientspace below the trough.Syntron Electromagnetic Feedersrequire minimal maintenance asthere are no mechanical parts to wearout, such as cams, eccentrics, beltsand bearings – thus eliminating theneed for lubrication. All movementis confined to the heavy-duty leafsprings. Electrical components, suchas the coil, will provide years ofservice under normal operatingconditions. Dust-tight drive unitsare standard on all models.Dependable, flexible controls provideeasily adjustable feed rates withinstantaneous response. A varietyof controls with special controlarrangements are available.(For more information onelectromagnetic feeder controls,see pages 26 - 28.)Syntron ®F-450 Electromagnetic Feeders feed sand in a glass factory.Electromagnetic Feeder Features■ Dust-tight and maintenance-free drive units■ Above- or below-deck drive units■ Two-mass, spring-connected, sub-resonant tuned■ High frequency - 3600 VPM at 60Hz■ Stroke - 0.060 inches■ Stroke generated by creating a magnetic field■ Suspension mount, base mount or combination of both■ Bolt-in replacement trough liners■ Multiple-drive unit feeders available* Based on dry sand weighing 100 pounds per cubic foot. Capacities vary depending on drive unit location, material characteristics, materialdensity, trough length and width, trough liner type, feeder installation, skirt boards and hopper transitions.4
