Vibratorisyöttölaite

Vibratorisyöttölaite, a Finnish term, translates to vibratory feeder or vibrator feeder in English. It is a type of industrial equipment designed to move bulk materials, typically in granular or powdered form, from one point to another in a controlled manner. The core principle of its operation relies on vibrating a trough or a similar structure to induce movement in the material placed within it.

The vibration is usually generated by an unbalanced motor or an electromagnetic actuator. This controlled vibration causes the material to "hop" or "slide" along the feeder's surface in a desired direction. The frequency and amplitude of the vibration can often be adjusted, allowing for precise control over the flow rate of the material. This adjustability is crucial in many manufacturing processes where consistent and accurate feeding is required.

Vibratory feeders are used across a wide range of industries, including mining, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. They are employed in applications such as dosing, screening, conveying, and orienting small parts. Their simplicity, reliability, and ability to handle various types of bulk materials make them a common and effective solution for material handling challenges. The design can vary from simple open troughs to enclosed systems, depending on the specific material properties and environmental considerations.
