The Chute Feeder is widely used in the coal transmitting and thermal power plant. It is also can be used in Construction materials, Chemicals, Metallurgy and Mine departments etc which feeds bulk materials that is lower than 300°C. The working theory is similar to the vibrating feeder that adopts the to-and-fro movement to discharge the materials. The feeding particle size should be within 350mm.
Chute feeder not only can be set up on the ground but also lifting in the warehouse unloading ore at the mouth. Backplane make reciprocating motion, the stroke time is 20-60 times/min, stroke is 20-200 mm. Stroke may be appropriately adjusted by the driving device eccentric wheel and the eccentricity is half a stroke. According to some mill practice, the viscous minerals, eccentricity should not be less than 30 mm. Feeder trough width is about 2-2.5 times of the largest feed particle size. The largest feeder trough can meet the particle size of less than 500 mm to the iron ore mine.
