The main feature of this feeder is the low power consumption, low noise and little maintenance required. The Pan Feeders are generally installed at a 10-degree downslope to provide the best efficiency for the free flow of material. Fitted with replaceable liners and can be floor or suspension mounted. The feed rate is controlled by the machine’s vibration frequency and often the controls, which can be manual or automatic and can be programmed to receive a signal from a PLC.
