INTRODUCTION
ELECTROMECHANICAL DRIVES
Out-of-balance electromechanical drives have proved to be the most economical and reliable method of powering vibratory feeders. The drives' relative output (considering their cost and weight) far surpasses other methods. When used with frequency inverters surprisingly accurate feed control can be achieved.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
HOW DO THEY WORK?
When the drive motors are run in opposing directions the resulting eccentric weights combine to produce a linear force. When these eccentric weights oppose each other a zero force results.
ADJUSTING THE WEIGHTS
To adjust the vibrating force of a motor simply loosen the outer adjustable weights on each side of the motor and align them with the desired percentage settings on the inner fixed weights. The position of the inner fixed weights should never be altered.

ENMIN HOPPER FEEDER
Enmin Hopper Feeders are extremely useful in instances where a static hopper may cause blockages to product flow. The live hopper not only acts as storage but helps to keep the flow of product continuous.
These machines can be designed to include screens or de-watering sections to remove unwanted materials.
Other accessories include an adjustable control gate, which ensures regulated flow from the unit, and de-clumping bars which can be installed to break up material entering the hopper.
