Overview

The ZSW-600×130 belongs to the Vibrating Feeder from New Shanbao and is installed ahead of the crusher. It feeds material from the hopper into the crushing chamber continuously and evenly, while pre-screening it: fines below the cut size are removed before the crusher, reducing crusher load and raising plant throughput.

This model is supplied with motor; electrical control not included, with a motor power of 22kW. The ZSW series is a bar-type vibrating feeder whose trough carries two sections of grizzly bars for coarse screening during feeding. The GZG series is an electromagnetic feeder, using an electromagnetic vibrator for stepless speed control and instantaneous start-stop — well suited where feed accuracy matters.

A feeder looks like a supporting item but it is the key to plant stability. Matching feeder capacity to crusher throughput, aligning the feed direction with the chamber centre and matching bar spacing to the feed size are the three things that decide whether downstream equipment can run at full load for the long term.

✓Design Features

  • Grizzly pre-screening (ZSW) removes fines before the crusher, cutting crusher load by 20–30% and raising throughput noticeably.
  • Stepless electromagnetic control (GZG) allows continuous adjustment while running, and can be interlocked with crusher current for automatic feed control.
  • Troughs are built from wear-resistant steel (NM360/NM400) or lined with replaceable wear plates for long life and easy servicing.
  • Twin eccentric shafts (ZSW) produce a linear throw with stable amplitude that withstands hopper pressure and impact loads.
  • Vibrator bearings use oil or grease lubrication with reliable dust sealing for dusty operating conditions.
  • Optional variable-frequency drive enables automatic feeding based on hopper level, reducing manual intervention.

◎Applications

  • Continuous, even feeding ahead of a jaw crusher
  • Feeding and pre-screening ahead of impact or hammer crushers
  • Feeding under the hopper in aggregate plants
  • Mill feeding and proportioning in ore-dressing plants
  • Metering feed of coal and coke
  • Raw-material proportioning and clinker feeding in cement plants
  • Powder and granular material feeding in chemical and building-materials plants
  • Front end of automatic batching and weighing systems

Working Principle

A vibrating feeder uses vibration motors or an electromagnetic vibrator to generate a periodic exciting force that drives the trough back and forth in a set direction. Material in the trough is alternately tossed and moved forward by vibration and gravity, producing a continuous, even stream.

When grizzly bars are fitted, fine particles below the bar spacing fall through during transport instead of entering the crusher, avoiding unnecessary crushing and wasted energy. Bar spacing is set from the crusher setting and material characteristics, typically 0.8–1.0× the closed-side setting.

Selection Guide

  • Size the feeder above the crusher: capacity should exceed the crusher rating by 10–20% so the feeder is never the bottleneck.
  • Size the trough by lump size: inside width should be at least twice the largest lump to avoid bridging.
  • Choose the type by material: ZSW grizzly for sticky, coarse run-of-mine feed; GZG electromagnetic where accurate proportioning is needed.
  • Size for hopper pressure: taller hoppers impose greater load, requiring a heavier trough and vibrator.
  • Specify a VFD or a crusher-current-linked feed controller where automatic control is required.

FAQ

How is a grizzly feeder different from a standard feeder?

A grizzly feeder (ZSW) has two sections of parallel bars at the discharge end forming a grid. Fines fall through into a chute during transport and bypass the crusher entirely, cutting crusher load by 20–30% and avoiding unnecessary work. A standard feeder only conveys and has no pre-screening function — it suits feed that is already fairly uniform in size.

Why does a feeder trough wear through?

Wear concentrates at the impact point and the discharge end, usually because of a large drop height, an undersized feeder or highly abrasive material. Fixes include fitting replaceable wear liners, adding a buffer grid or dead-bed at the impact point, upsizing the feeder by one step to lower relative velocity, and repositioning the hopper outlet so material does not strike directly.

Can an electromagnetic feeder do automatic batching?

Yes. The GZG series adjusts feed rate by controlling the thyristor firing angle or through a VFD, giving fast response and stepless control. Combined with load cells and a PLC it forms an automatic batching system with typical accuracy of ±1% to ±2%, widely used in cement, chemical and ore-dressing proportioning.
