Mogensen supplies L356 vibratory feeders

Mogensen has supplied two Type ETS1 1000/2000 - L356 vibratory feeders for installation as part of a furnace-bottom ash handling plant being built in Mexico by Clyde Bergemann Materials Handling.

The feeders, will be handling hot ash, 95 per cent of which is smaller than 30mm at temperatures not higher than 100C.

Ambient temperatures will be in the range 10-40C.

The machines, each of which is rated at 150m/h (117tph), will receive ash from a bunker above via a diverter valve.

One feeder only will be in use at any given time.

Each feeder will deliver material via a further diverter valve onto one of two conveyor belts, which transfer the ash for processing elsewhere in the plant.

The installation has been designed to ensure continuous running, i.e to allow maintenance to be carried out on either feeder and/or either conveyor without stopping the entire plant.

The feeders are dust-proofed, equipped with all the necessary flexible, dust-proof connector sleeves, and are fitted with removable inspection covers.

A replaceable 6mm-thick, steel trough-base liner plate is fitted to each feeder.

The feeders are each driven by two counter-rotating Invicta Type BLz40 - 35/6 (1,800W output) rotary electric vibrators.

The scope of supply also includes Invicta starter panels, which provide reverse-phase braking to ensure smooth, bounce-free stopping, and by monitoring the current drawn prevent either feeder from running on a single vibrator only, an occurrence, which could damage both the machine and the installation.
