The multiple feeder type PM is applied when a line of machine hoppers is charged with the same material mix. Owing to the fact that only one motor is used, this variant of feeder is very energy-efficient.
Field of application
Feeders of the PM Series are used to supply a line of machine hoppers, provided that all machines process the same material and the hoppers are in a row. These conditions are mostly found in extrusion plants where different profiles are made from the same material (e.g. window profiles, tubes). The same technique can also be used as a collecting feeder with multiple inlets to combine several silos.
