Eriez illustrates benefits of B-HC electromagnetic vibratory feeder models

Posted on 23 Oct 2024

Eriez® has announced the release of an animation showcasing the features and benefits of its new B-HC (high-capacity) electromagnetic vibratory feeder models.

These advanced feeders are the latest additions to the company’s B-Series line and offer between 70-100% greater capacity than previous models, setting new industry standards for material handling efficiency.

Eriez B-HC feeders can handle bulk materials ranging from just a few pounds to 1,200 tons (1,089 t) per hour, depending on the material type. By using the full AC sine wave and creating a push-pull magnetic action, these units effectively generate increased tray deflection and material flow and ensure precise and controlled material flow.

Operators can easily adjust feed rates either locally or remotely by modifying the feeder tray displacement from 0 to .09 in (2.3 mm), allowing for highly customised performance tailored to suit diverse application needs.

“Our new B-HC models represent a significant breakthrough in vibratory feeder technology,” Rob Yandrick, Global Product Manager—Vibratory at Eriez, says. “With an electromagnetic drive that includes a powerful rare earth permanent magnetic armature assembly and options for base and suspended mounting, as well as undermount and overhead drive configurations, these feeders are engineered to deliver unparalleled performance and flexibility.”

The animation offers a comprehensive overview of B-HC feeders, illustrating how this equipment excels in head-load applications beneath hoppers by accurately metering bulk materials to belt conveyors, crushers, screens and elevators.

Designed for sustainability and dependability, the B-HC feeders incorporate a compact, energy-efficient AC control system with accelerometer feedback, providing precise variable-speed control with minimal power and maintenance requirements.
