Low-dust bag feeding with integrated vibrating screen and coarse material discharge
The AZO feeding hopper ET…VS GA enables low-dust feeding of powdered, dusty, and granular bulk materials into closed material feeding and pneumatic conveying systems. When the lid is opened, the suction system starts automatically. This allows the operator to empty the bags directly into the closed system and reduce dust exposure during product feeding.
Integrated Vibrating Screen Protects Production
The integrated vibrating screen with automatic coarse material discharge also performs the incoming product inspection. Packaging residues and particles larger than the set mesh size are reliably retained and discharged through the coarse material outlet. This prevents unwanted components from entering the subsequent process steps.
The vibration motors can be adjusted in terms of angle and intensity to suit the specific product. Plastic mesh with a mesh size of 2 to 5 mm and metal screens with a large open area are available to meet various requirements.
Reliable product feeding, even with bulk materials that do not flow freely
For bulk materials that do not flow well, the feed hopper can be equipped with knockers, vibrators, a vibrating floor, or aeration nozzles to assist with discharge. This allows the discharge process to be adapted to the specific bulk material and process requirements.
Easy to use and quick to maintain
Feeding, screen inspection, removal of coarse material, and screen replacement are all performed from one side. This simplifies operation and reduces the effort required for maintenance. Screen replacement can be performed using standard tools.
The feed hopper is also available with various configurations, outlets, and connection options. This allows it to be adapted to downstream equipment, a central vacuum system, or a mounted filter, as well as to the specific building layout. Models made of chrome-nickel steel and featuring various finishes allow for use in accordance with industry-specific requirements.
