Eriez announces the release of an animation showcasing the features and benefits of its new B-HC (high-capacity) electromagnetic vibratory feeder models. These advanced feeders are the latest additions to the company’s B-Series line and offer between 70% to 100% greater capacity than previous models, setting new industry standards for material handling efficiency.

Eriez B-HC feeders can handle bulk materials ranging from just a few pounds to 1,200 tons (1,089 metric tons) per hour, depending on the material type. By utilizing the full AC sine wave and creating a push-pull magnetic action, these units effectively generate increased tray deflection and material flow and ensure precise and controlled material flow.

Operators can easily adjust feed rates either locally or remotely by modifying the feeder tray displacement from 0 to .090 inches (2.3 mm), allowing for highly customized performance tailored to suit diverse application needs.

“Our new B-HC models represent a significant breakthrough in vibratory feeder technology,” says Rob Yandrick, Global Product Manager—Vibratory at Eriez. “With an electromagnetic drive that includes a powerful rare earth permanent magnetic armature assembly and options for base and suspended mounting, as well as undermount and overhead drive configurations, these feeders are engineered to deliver unparalleled performance and flexibility.”

The animation offers a comprehensive overview of B-HC feeders, illustrating how this equipment excels in head-load applications beneath hoppers by accurately metering bulk materials to belt conveyors, crushers, screens, and elevators.

Designed for sustainability and dependability, the B-HC feeders incorporate a compact, energy-efficient AC control system with accelerometer feedback, providing precise variable-speed control with minimal power and maintenance requirements.

Unveiled at MINExpo International 2024, the new 65B-HC feeder model has already seen great success in operation at Washington Mills, a major producer of abrasive grains. The company sought to increase feed capacity without increasing the feeder size. Eriez’ 65B-HC feeder was customized to meet space constraints and demanding application requirements, resulting in a substantial increase in throughput and overall performance.
