McLanahan - Feeders Brochure

Feeders are devices used to control and meter the flow of materials to meet the specified flow rate of the crushing system or process system. They are the first step in designing a crushing/process system to meet the goals required. Several types of feeders can be used in a crushing/process system. They are selected to suit the material, feed rates and pre-sorting. The feeder decides the magnitude of the load on the crushing/process system. Therefore, the handling system load condition and thereby its performance is controlled by the feeder.
