The role of the control system of electromagnetic vibrating feeder
The electromagnetic vibrating feeder is used to uniformly or quantitatively supply block, granular or powdery materials from storage silos or other storage equipment to the receiving equipment. It is an essential equipment for the automation of flow operations.
Vibrating feeders accommodate a wide range of materials, from granular materials with a particle size of 0.1 millimeters or more, to general bulk materials, and even large blocks ranging up to 400-500 millimeters or more, and even massive materials exceeding one meter in size. Additionally, they can convey powdered materials (for powdery materials prone to flying, the supporting components should be made into a sealed structure). With appropriate measures, they can also handle high-temperature materials and highly corrosive materials.
The electromagnetic vibrating feeder has a simple structure, small size, easy installation and operation, no rotating parts, no need for lubrication, easy maintenance, and low power consumption. The ore feeding amount can be adjusted evenly. This equipment is widely used in mining, metallurgy, coal, electric power, chemical industry, food, glass, refractory materials and other industries.
The role of the control system of electromagnetic vibrating feeder
The control system of an electromagnetic vibrating feeder plays a crucial role in regulating and optimizing its operation.Controller: The controller serves as the central unit of the control nsystem. It receives input signals and commands from various sources and generates output signals to regulate the operation of the feeder.
Power Supply: The power supply provides electrical energy to the electromagnetic coil of the vibrating feeder. It ensures that the coil receives the necessary voltage and current to generate the magnetic field required for the vibratory motion.
Frequency Controller: In some systems, a frequency controller is used to adjust the frequency of the electrical supply to the electromagnetic coil. By varying the frequency, the controller can control the amplitude and intensity of the vibrations produced by the feeder.
Amplitude Controller: The amplitude controller regulates the magnitude of the vibratory motion generated by the feeder. It adjusts the current supplied to the electromagnetic coil, thereby controlling the strength of the magnetic field and the resulting amplitude of vibration. Feedback Sensors: Feedback sensors are used to monitor various parameters of the feeder, such as vibration amplitude, material flow rate, and power consumption. These sensors provide real-time data to the controller, allowing it to make adjustments and optimize the feeder’s performance.
Safety Interlocks: Safety interlocks are integrated into the control system to ensure safe operation of the feeder. These may include sensors to detect overloads, overheating, or material blockages, as well as emergency stop buttons to halt operation in case of an emergency.
