REGULATING FEEDER

* Durable Evans/MacTavish design
       * In the usual configuration, lower apron belt runs at constant speed to push product against inclined belt
       * Cleats and pins fixed to inclined belt carry product to upper section at variable speed
       * Upper section's adjustable "refuser doffer" rotates against product to maintain an even, constant flow to the discharge
       *Revolving discharge wiper cleans  belt and pins
       *The feeder is also available with sloping gravity feed reservoir hopper, without apron belt

* Built from heavy gauge mild steel and structural steel

* Belts supported by replaceable UHMW wear strips

* Access doors for easy cleanout

* Hinged see through doors in apron section

* Planetary gear reduction unit for apron belt

* Doffer adjusts by handwheel at eye level

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

* Inclined belt and doffer powered by variable AC drive

* Compatible with all weighbelts
       *Weighbelt rate continuously adjusted by SCR speed controller connected to both feeder and weighbelt

* Ten standard models in widths of 48 to 144 inches (1219 to 3657 mm)

       Options
       *Photoelectric or ultrasonic hopper belt control
       *Variable-speed lower apron
       *Custom widths, apron lengths, discharge heights, and discharge chutes
       *Magnetic system for removal of ferrous material
