Drum Feeder 3

Drum Feeder

FLOWSUNA drum feeder is a machine that moves material from a bin or hopper to a discharge point by rotating a drum. The drum rotates through compartments or slots, releasing the material through an outlet.

Types of Drum Feeders

  • Rotary Drum Feeder: Continuous rotation for uniform feeding
  • Vibratory Drum Feeder: Improves material flow
  • Variable Speed Drum Feeder: Controls feed rate

Uses of Drum Feeders

  • Feeding screws, bolts, nuts
  • Bagasse feeding in sugar factories
  • Continuous industrial operations

Screw Feeder

A screw feeder moves bulk solids at a controlled rate using a rotating screw inside a tube, delivering material efficiently to the discharge point.

Design Considerations

  • Screw blade pitch
  • Distance between blades
  • Rotation speed
  • Feed or discharge rate
  • Variable speed drives
