* Hard working design for continuous operation

Lower apron belt runs at constant speed to push product against inclined belt

Cleats and pins fixed to incline belt carry product to upper section at variable speed

Upper section's adjustable "refusor doffer" rotates against product to maintain an even, constant flow to the discharge

From discharge, product falls onto take-away conveyor system

Revolving discharge wiper cleans belt and pins

* Sturdy structural steel frame

* Sprocket-and-chain product belts are supported by rollers on replaceable wear strips

* Doffer adjusts by handwheel at eye level

* Capacity determined by width of feeder, height of cleats and pins, doffer setting, and incline belt speed

* Incline belt is powered by variable-speed motor

* Dumpers

The Evans/MacTavish Bulk Tobacco Feeder can be fitted with many types of pneumatic or hydraulic dumpers (or "tippers") for hogsheads, bales, and tubs.
