ERIEZ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ERIEZ from 3G Electric.
What feed rate ranges are available for Eriez vibratory feeders from 3G Electric?
Eriez vibratory feeders supplied by 3G Electric cover feed rates from 1,250 lb/hr to 26,000 lb/hr. Specific models include the 6C at 1,250 lb/hr, 15A at 4,000 lb/hr, 26C at 8,000 lb/hr, 36C at 10,000 lb/hr, 46C at 14,000, 18,000, and 22,000 lb/hr, and 66C at 26,000 lb/hr. Trough dimensions and discharge heights vary accordingly, allowing selection based on the required material flow and installation space.
What are typical applications for Eriez vibratory feeders?
Eriez vibratory feeders are used for controlled metering and conveying of bulk materials such as powders, granules, and small parts. Common applications include feeding additives in food processing, conveying plastic pellets in injection molding, dosing chemicals in continuous processes, and handling materials in packaging and material handling lines. The electromagnetic drive provides adjustable flow rates and reliable operation in continuous duty cycles.
How do I select the correct Eriez vibratory feeder model for my process?
Selection depends on the required feed rate, trough length and width, and discharge height. For example, a low feed rate of 1,250 lb/hr with a small trough (12 in x 1.5 in) suits the 6C model, while a high rate of 26,000 lb/hr requires the 66C with a 48 in x 16 in trough. 3G Electric can assist in interpreting your demand and sourcing the appropriate Eriez feeder based on these specifications.
Does 3G Electric supply Eriez magnetic separators in addition to vibratory feeders?
Yes, 3G Electric supplies Eriez magnetic separators, including grate magnets, plate magnets, and magnetic drums, alongside vibratory feeders. These separators are used to remove ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants from bulk material streams in industries such as mining, recycling, food processing, and plastics. 3G Electric can source the specific separator type and size required for your application.
What is the construction and operating principle of Eriez electromagnetic vibratory feeders?
Eriez electromagnetic vibratory feeders use an electromagnet and spring system to drive a trough in a linear vibratory motion. The AC-powered coil creates a magnetic field that attracts and releases the armature, causing the trough to vibrate and move material forward. The design has few moving parts, reducing maintenance. Feed rate is adjustable by varying the voltage or using a controller. Units are built for industrial environments and continuous operation.
Can 3G Electric provide Eriez vibratory feeders for international shipping?
Yes, 3G Electric ships Eriez vibratory feeders and other equipment globally. The company serves industrial customers worldwide, providing access to genuine Eriez components. For international orders, 3G Electric handles sourcing and logistics, ensuring that the correct model and specifications are supplied. Customers can request quotes for specific part numbers and quantities.
