What is a Vibratory Feeder in Pneumatic Conveying Systems?
A vibratory feeder in pneumatic conveying systems is a device used for the precise feeding and dosing of bulk materials in pneumatic transport systems. This feeder uses controlled vibrations to agitate the material and facilitate its uniform flow into the transport system. Its design ensures accurate and consistent dosing, improving process efficiency and ensuring the quality of the transported material.
