Vibratory Furnace Charger

Vibratory Furnace Charger consists of a vibrating feeder mounted on a moving trolley with a storage hopper mounted above the feeder. The metallic components like scrap, bales, pig iron and foundry retains are stored in the hopper. The hopper shape is specially designed to enable bulky and irregular scrap pieces to be extracted without problem. The withdrawal of the scrap from the hopper is carried out by a specially built vibrating feeder. The feeder design is such that the materials conveyed are spread out into individual pieces as they flow toward the feeder discharge.

This technique brings about a greater accuracy of dispensing. The metallic components are dosed either into a weigh hopper or directly into the charge bucket or by lifting magnet on crane hook with digital weigh scale.

The charging car on the vibrating furnace charger comprises a discharge chute with vibratory feeder for the metallic components and s hopper all mounted on the traveling framework with drive gear. The discharge snout is inclined and formed of a rounded trough to bring about a good charge distribution and enable irregular or bulky pieces of scrap or returns to be discharged. The feeder is driven by unbalanced motors. The vibration frequency can be altered by an A. C. Inverter, thereby regulating the feed velocity and also influencing the noise emission.
