Mogensen Feeders provide an uninterrupted flow, to transfer material from one source to another, or loosen or spread material for further processing. Typical applications include aggregates and minerals processing, chemicals, food processing, animal feed, and many more. Mogensen Feeders offer advantages such as precise control over feed rates, gentle handling of delicate materials, and the ability to convey materials over long distances.
When selecting feeders or conveyors, consideration needs to be given to the characteristics of the material, including maximum particle size, flow properties and desired throughput. In addition, others factors to consider would be feed rate onto the Feeder, feed accuracy and other operational requirements.
The basic components of a vibratory feeder include:
1. Vibrating Base/Drive Unit: This is the main power source that generates the vibrations. It typically consists of an electric, pneumatic or hydraulic vibrator motor with a set of out-of balance weights attached to the shaft. As the motor rotates, the motion of the weights create vibrations, which are transmitted to the feeder, enabling the material to flow.
2. Feeder Trough: The feeder trough holds and orients the materials or parts. It can be made from either mild or stainless steel and has a contoured design to ensure proper flow and orientation of the materials. Depending on the nature of the material, wear plates can be fitted to the trough to increase the lifespan of the machine.

3. Springs: Springs are used to support the feeder and isolate the surrounding structure from the vibrations generated by the drive unit. They help in absorbing shocks and vibrations, providing stability and smooth operation.
4. Control Unit: The control unit regulates the vibration intensity and frequency of the feeder. It allows for adjusting the speed and amplitude of the vibrations as well as the starting and stopping sequence to suit the specific requirements of the process.
Mogensen offers an extensive range of vibratory feeders, driven by electric, pneumatic or hydraulic powered vibrator motors, to produce a linear or rotary action dependent on the application needs.
Mogensen Spreader Feeders are designed to feed material onto additional processes equipment whilst ensuring an even spread of material to maximise efficiency and throughput.
