iBulk Vibrating Feeders type iDDF (Trough/Pan) serve primarily for withdrawing bulk material from bins and hoppers. They can also be used for conveying materials over short distances.
The iBulk Direct Drive Feeder is most suited for the conveying of granular bulk materials having a large angle of repose.

Applications and Industries
Uses in the field include:
- Charging mixers
- Mills
- Crushers
- Screens
- Furnaces
- and other equipment for processing granular material.
They are ideal for feeding belt conveyors, bucket elevators and production scales.
Suitable for light duty food and chemicals to heavy duty quarry & mining applications in a cost effective way.
Installation
iBulk Vibrating Feeders are generally mounted on rubber springs and for heavy duty or high temperature applications on steel coil springs. This makes them freely vibrating units transmitting minimal vibration to surrounding structures. They do not require special foundations.
Alternatively, the Feeders may be suspended on rubber compression springs.
High vibration damping may be achieved by using soft springs with high static strength.
In the case of abrasive materials, special linings can be provided. Dust may be controlled by the use of covered pans, with flexible seals being used at the transfer points.
