Wobbler Feeder

Product Introduction

Meet the Wobbler Feeder, the intelligent solution for tough material handling challenges. Engineered for the mining, aggregate, and recycling sectors, this specialized feeder excels where others fail. Its core innovation lies in a series of rotating elliptical bars that generate a unique wobbling motion. This action gently tumbles material, efficiently separating fines and allowing them to bypass the main crusher, while consistently feeding larger lumps forward. The result is a revolutionized pre-screening process that eliminates blockages from wet, sticky, or clay-laden feed, ensuring a smooth, even flow to downstream equipment and maximizing your plant’s overall productivity.

Built to withstand the harshest environments, the Wobbler Feeder is synonymous with rugged reliability and operational simplicity. Its robust, heavy-duty construction guarantees longevity under constant, demanding loads. By performing effective scalping at the primary stage, it significantly reduces unnecessary wear on crushers and screens, translating directly to lower maintenance costs and less downtime. This mechanical efficiency makes it not just a feeder, but a strategic asset for boosting the throughput and profitability of your entire material handling operation.

Product Advantages

1. Clog-Proof Performance: Uniquely designed to handle wet, sticky, and clayey materials without blinding or clogging, ensuring uninterrupted material flow.
2. Active Pre-Screening & Scalping: The elliptical bar motion actively separates fines and small materials, reducing the load and wear on primary crushers and downstream processes.
3. Consistent Feed Rate: Promotes a steady, even flow of material, optimizing the efficiency and performance of connected equipment like screens and crushers.
4. Heavy-Duty & Low Maintenance: Features a simple, rugged mechanical design with fewer moving parts prone to wear, leading to remarkable durability and minimal maintenance requirements.
5. Adjustable for Precision: Offers adjustable speed and spacing settings to fine-tune performance for specific material types and desired output specifications.
6. Cost-Effective Operation: Reduces energy consumption and operational costs by preventing crusher overload and minimizing unplanned downtime and repair expenses.
7. Ideal for Primary Stage: Excels at the critical primary feeding point, preparing raw, variable feed for efficient secondary processing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What exactly does a Wobbler Feeder do?
A: It acts as both a feeder and a pre-screener. It receives raw, unprocessed bulk material and uses a wobbling motion to separate fine particles, feeding only oversized material to the crusher while allowing fines to bypass it.

Q: What materials is it best suited for?
A: It is exceptionally effective for challenging materials that cause problems for traditional feeders, including wet, sticky, clayey, or friable ores, aggregates, and recycled demolition waste.

Q: How does it prevent clogging with sticky material?
A: The rotating elliptical bars create a tumbling, self-cleaning action. The gaps between the bars allow smaller and fine particles to fall through immediately, preventing sticky build-up that leads to blockages.

Q: Where in the processing line is it typically installed?
A: It is most commonly installed at the very beginning, as the primary feeder/scalper before the primary crusher, to ensure optimal feed conditions for the entire crushing circuit.

Q: What are the main maintenance requirements?
A: Thanks to its simple and robust design, maintenance is minimal. It primarily involves regular lubrication of bearings and periodic inspection of the drive components and elliptical bars for wear.
