iBulk Vibrating Feeders – iDDF (Direct Drive Feeders)
Efficiently manage the flow of bulk materials with iBulk’s iDDF Vibrating Feeders. Engineered for reliability and versatility, these feeders are ideal for withdrawing material from bins and hoppers, as well as conveying granular products over short distances.
How It Works
iDDF feeders use contra-rotating electromechanical motors to impart both an upward and forward stroke to the feeder body. By adjusting the motor angle, you can fine-tune the motion for optimal lifting or conveying action, ensuring precise and consistent material flow
Installation & Mounting Flexibility
Mounting Options:
Floor-mounted on rubber or steel coil springs for minimal vibration transfer—no special foundations required.
Suspension mounting with rods and rubber compression springs for further vibration isolation.
Custom Support:
Structural stands are available for floor installations.
Safety straps and isolation mounts (Rosta, barrel, or suspension style) enhance stability and protect surrounding structures..
Key Features & Advantages
Continuous, Heavy-Duty Operation: Built for demanding environments and 24/7 use.
Dust-Tight Designs: Optional covers and flexible seals control dust at transfer points.
Accurate Feeding: Consistently delivers material to downstream equipment at predetermined rates and orientations.
Variable Speed Capability: Adjustable stroke and motor angle for tailored material flow[1][2].
No Special Foundations Needed: Minimal transmitted vibration simplifies installation.
High Stability: Maintains performance under varying loads.
Custom Construction: Available in mild or stainless steel, with optional abrasion-resistant liners for handling abrasive materials[1][3].
Easy Integration: Open or enclosed interfaces, with or without rod gate isolation for hopper installations[1][2][3].
