One can purchase a feeder and provide the complete solution or ask Mavi for a complete solution, requiring less headache.
As Arcelor does, the world´s largest steel company, this September 2018.
Installing a brandnew vibratory feeder Vical-A type with Vimot vibratory drives, complete with a skirt board to help redirect the material flow onto the feeder, a gate to control the flow or simply close it for the silo´s maintenance as well as replaceable wear-plates (of course high wear resistant material from Arcelor).
Just a few bolts, the electric connection and off they go, providing a constant flow of iron ore to its blast furnaces.
Go for a solution, ask for Vical-A vibratory feedes from Mavi.
