A box feeder is a device used for uniform and quantitative feeding. It controls the feeding volume of materials by adjusting the height of the gate and the speed of the conveyor belt. This equipment is mainly used for the quantitative supply of various raw materials before and after crushing, as well as after aging. The box feeder is characterized by its simple structure, convenient operation, no need for lubrication, low power consumption, and the ability to uniformly adjust the feeding volume, making it widely applicable. Additionally, the box feeder can uniformly and continuously feed bulk or granular materials from the storage bin to the receiving device, making it a key piece of equipment in certain production processes.
Working Principle of Box Feeder
The box feeder operates by using a motor to drive the conveyor belt through a transmission mechanism, enabling continuous (or intermittent) movement to achieve uniform feeding. Materials are stored in the box on the conveyor belt, and the feeding volume is adjusted by changing the height of the box gate or the speed of the conveyor belt. This equipment is also used in the transportation of materials such as clay, coal gangue, and fly ash, meeting the needs of material transportation and quantitative supply in various industrial production processes.
Features of Box Feeder:
1. **Simple structure, low power consumption, and easy operation and maintenance.**
2. **Large loading capacity, capable of storing materials to meet the continuity requirements of subsequent processes.**
3. **Primarily used for feeding raw materials in production lines, enabling uniform, continuous, and quantitative feeding of granular and bulk materials to the receiving device.**
4. **Wide speed adjustment range, capable of meeting the requirements of various production conditions.**
