Wobbler Feeder

What is the operating principle behind Wobbler Feeders? 

The triangular, elliptical or circular disks rotate synchronously, carrying the material over the feeder and separating finer materials through the bottom. As a result, a more homogenous material is provided to the following phase. 

Wobbler feeders, known also as disk feeders, can be produced in sizes of 1–2 meters wide and 3–8 meters long, as required. Two or three disk feeders can be set up in sequence for longer distances. 

In wobbler feeders, the disks are rotated by a powerful gearbox-governed electric motor with a single gear, although it is also possible to rotate each disk from a separate motor. If necessary, the fine aggregate that passes through the disks can be fed to the belt to form a bed for the crushed rock exiting the crusher, thus slowing the wear and tear on the rubber band. 

For what processes/applications are Wobbler Feeders used?

Wobbler feeders are the most appropriate type of feeder when working with moist and sticky materials. Handling and screening moist and muddy material can be difficult, and blockages to the system can be frequent. Wobbler feeders can easily feed materials with a high moisture content to crushers.

The synchronized rotation of self-cleaning elliptical disks on circular-section disks ensures the removal of moist and sticky materials from the coarse material through compression and friction forces. Material passing through the disks can be separated or mixed with material as it exits the crusher. These feeders can manage the requirements of demanding working conditions, will also producing successful results in high-capacity facilities.
