Syntron® Heavy-Duty Vibrating Feeders
Electromagnetic Feeder
Syntron® Vibrating Feeders for heavy industry are ideal for feeding a wide
variety of bulk materials from storage piles, hoppers, bins and silos. Rugged
and dependable, Syntron heavy-duty feeders are backed by years of serviceproven performance in the mining, aggregates, glass, cement, chemical,
wood products and steel industries.
Syntron Vibrating Feeders are designed to increase bulk handling productivity
with high, controlled feed rates to improve cost-per-ton efficiency.
Electromagnetic and electromechanical models are available. With capacity
ranges from 25 to 4,000 tons per hour, these feeders are ideally suited for
high-tonnage feeding. Feeder selection should include consideration of production requirements, material characteristics, and operating environment.
Syntron ® F-Series
Electromagnetic Feeder
Electromechanical Feeders
Syntron Vibrating Feeders are sub-resonant tuned, two-mass, spring-connected
systems. These features enable Syntron feeders to work consistently under
material damping and other varying headload conditions with negligible
changes in trough stroke. Sub-resonant tuning maintains stroke consistency
and speed stability, thus delivering higher capacities at controlled feed rates.
Precise, sub-resonant tuning is a key characteristic of both types of Syntron
vibrating feeders. Electromagnetic models are tuned through careful calculation of the number and thickness of the special leaf springs required to
accomplish the desired tuning ratio. Electromechanical models are tuned by
adjusting the operating speed to obtain the exact tuning ratio. Because subresonant tuning is so critical to feeder performance, a detailed explanation
is provided for electromagnetic feeders on page 6 and for electromechanical
feeders on page 15.

Dependable, flexible control sets Syntron vibrating feeders apart from other
feeding and conveying machinery. Material feed rates are controlled and
easily adjusted with Syntron solid-state controls; a wide range of standard
and special models is available. Control devices can also be supplied for
integration into systems that use external signals from automatic sensing
devices. In addition, control arrangements are available for selecting and
sequencing a group of feeders.

Syntron® Electromagnetic Feeders
Syntron® Heavy-Duty Electromagnetic Feeders
Bulk material feeding with full-range control.
Syntron® Heavy-Duty Electromagnetic Feeders come in ten
different models with capacities
ranging from 25 to 1600 tons per
hour.* These versatile feeders are
capable of handling a variety of
materials from the finest powders
to large, coarse particles.
Syntron Electromagnetic Feeders
can be supplied in various configurations including multiple- drive
units and above-deck drive units.
Above-deck drive units are recommended where there is insufficient
space below the trough.
Syntron Electromagnetic Feeders
require minimal maintenance as
there are no mechanical parts to wear
out, such as cams, eccentrics, belts
and bearings – thus eliminating the
need for lubrication. All movement
is confined to the heavy-duty leaf
springs. Electrical components, such
as the coil, will provide years of
service under normal operating
conditions. Dust-tight drive units
are standard on all models.
Dependable, flexible controls provide
easily adjustable feed rates with
instantaneous response. A variety
of controls with special control
arrangements are available.
(For more information on
electromagnetic feeder controls,
see pages 26 - 28.)

Syntron® Electromagnetic
Feeders are normally installed
by suspension mounting with
four flexible wire rope cables.
They can also be supplied for
base mounting on a solid base,
or with a combination of base
mounting and suspension
mounting.
Syntron Electromagnetic Feeders are ideal for use in a stationary operation such
as a tunnel system from a surge pile. They are usually controlled from a remote
point to provide the desired feed rate. In this application,
a model FH-22 feeds limestone to a belt conveyor.

Syntron® Electromagnetic Feeders (cont’d.)
Sub-Resonant Tuning for Electromagnetic Feeders
Low sub-resonant tuning is the key
characteristic of Syntron®
electromagnetic feeders, making
them the most stable and consistent
feeders available on the market.
Feeder tuning involves adjustment
of the natural frequency of the
feeder in relationship to its
operating frequency. If the operating
frequency is greater than the natural
frequency, the feeder is superresonant tuned, making it very
unstable under headload. Conversely,
if the natural frequency is greater
than the operating frequency, the
feeder is sub-resonant tuned, making
it more consistent and stable under
headload.
Electromagnetic feeders are tuned
through careful calculation of the
number and thickness of the special
leaf springs required to accomplish
the desired tuning ratio.
Regardless of manufacturer, all
heavy-duty, two-mass electromagnetic vibrating feeders are subresonant tuned. For sub-resonant
tuned feeders, the distance from
resonance is critical to feeder performance. Most manufacturers tune
their feeders closer to resonance,
while Syntron electromagnetic
feeders are tuned further from
resonance.
6
The natural frequency of all Syntron® Heavy-Duty Electromagnetic Feeders is
checked at our test stations before shipment.
Material damping and other
variations in headload cause
fluctuations in capacity and feed
rates of all sub-resonant tuned
feeders. Because Syntron electromagnetic feeders are tuned further
from resonance, capacity and feed
rates remain more stable and consistent even when the feeder is
subjected to material damping and
other variations in headload.
This is why Syntron electromagnetic
Feeders are the best solution for
rugged material handling
applications.

Electromagnetic Feeder Troughs
Syntron® Electromagnetic Feeder models FH-22 through F-88 can be furnished
with standard flat-bottom troughs, special flat-bottom troughs or belt-centering
discharge troughs.
Drive units can be positioned either above or below the trough. A below-deck
drive unit is most commonly used, but above-deck drive units can be supplied
for installations where there is insufficient space below the trough. However,
an above-deck drive unit may reduce feeder capacity slightly.
Standard flat-bottom trough,
below-deck drive unit.
Capacities for feeder models with standard troughs are based on sand
weighing 100 pounds per cubic foot. Capacities vary depending on drive unit
location, material characteristics, material density, trough length and width,
trough liner type, feeder installation, skirt boards and hopper transitions.
Several trough options are available for special applications. Syntron® extralong feeder troughs can be supplied with either below-deck or above-deck
multiple electromagnetic drive units. Extra-long feeder troughs provide many
advantages in conveying materials over long distances; unlike belt conveyors,
there are no idlers or pulley drive units to wear, lubricate, or replace. Long
tubular troughs can convey pure, clean materials without atmospheric contamination and safely convey dusty, poisonous materials without endangering
processing personnel.

unit.
Other trough options include:
• Syntron vibrating inspection tables feed material forward at a smooth,
controlled rate of flow. This enables an operator to remove material
that does not meet specification.
Flat bottom trough, above-deck
drive unit.
• Syntron “spreader” feeders spread a wide, even layer of material with
a diagonal discharge trough or diagonal-slotted trough.
• Electrically heated trough liner plates minimize accumulation of damp or
wet materials in feeder troughs. Available only on specially designed feeders,
heated liner plates increase feeder efficiency by eliminating the downtime
required to clean troughs. They are especially effective for materials with
moisture contents ranging from five to fifteen percent. The electric heating
element is insulated and sandwiched between two steel plates.

Multiple-Drive Unit Electromagnetic Feeders
Syntron® Electromagnetic drive units can be combined
to create feeders ideally suited for special applications.
Multiple-drive units, positioned one behind the other,
result in a long, vibrating conveyor. When an especially
wide material layer is desired, multiple-drive units can
be placed side by side on extra wide feeder troughs. The
number of drive units required is determined by the
trough width and length.
Dual-twin drive units – two sets of twin drive units, one
set placed behind the other – provide both increased
capacity and the ability to handle exceptionally heavy loads.

Sub-resonant Tuning for Electromechanical Feeders
Stroke consistency and speed stability for high-capacity feeding.
Low sub-resonant tuning is the key characteristic of Syntron® electromechanical
feeders, making them the most stable and
consistent feeders available on the market.
Sub-Resonant Tuning for
Electromechanical Feeders
Feeder tuning involves adjustment of the
natural frequency of the feeder in relationship to its operating frequency. If the
operating frequency is greater than the
natural frequency, the feeder is superresonant tuned, making it very unstable
under headload. Conversely, if the natural
frequency is greater than the operating
frequency, the feeder is sub-resonant tuned,
making it more consistent and stable under
headload.
Regardless of manufacturer, all heavy-duty,
two-mass electromechanical vibrating
feeders are sub-resonant tuned. For subresonant tuned feeders, the distance from
resonance is critical to feeder performance.
Most manufacturers tune their feeders
closer to resonance, while Syntron feeders
are tuned further from resonance.
Material damping and other variations in
headload cause fluctuations in capacity
and feed rates of all sub-resonant tuned
feeders. Because Syntron electromechanical
feeders are tuned further from resonance,
capacity and feed rates remain more stable
and consistent even when the feeder is
subjected to material damping and other
variations in headload. In addition, Syntron
electromechanical feeder design incorporates internal damping, which contributes
to their stability and consistency.
On the comparison chart (Figure 1), curve 1
represents a typical competitive feeder in
a no-load state without internal damping.
Curve 2 represents a Syntron feeder in a
no-load state with internal damping.
Curve 3 represents a feeder with material
headload and associated damping.
Because Syntron feeders are tuned further
from resonance and are designed with
Figure 1. Comparison of Tuning Ratios
internal damping, it is evident that the
loss in relative trough stroke under headload for a Syntron feeder (Y) is negligible
as compared to a substantial loss in relative
trough stroke for competitive feeders (X).
This is why Syntron electromechanical
feeders are more consistent and stable than
any other feeder, even when subjected to
material damping and other variations in
headload.

Syntron® RF Electromechanical Feeders
RF Medium-Duty Electromechanical Feeders
These master material movers can feed it all.
Syntron® RF Medium-Duty Electromechanical
Vibrating Feeders meet the varying, mid-range
bulk material handling needs of industry.
Capable of handling a wide range of materials,
these two models provide feed rate capacities

Syntron RF feeders are two-mass vibrating units;
the trough is one mass and the exciter unit is
the other. The exciter is belt-driven by a standardframe induction motor and connected to the
trough with long-life polymeric shear springs.
The ball bearings in the exciter unit have a
minimum life expectancy of 20,000 L10 hours.
Variable pitch motor sheaves provide a positive
method of tuning. This Syntron design permits
higher feed capacities from smaller trough sizes,
enabling you to select a more economical unit to
meet your capacity requirements.

Syntron® Crusher Loading Feeder
The new Syntron Crusher Loading Feeder is a traditional mechanical style
vibratory feeder with a peripheral discharge. The Crusher Loading Feeder
retains the high reliability and robust design of the mechanical feeder; the
peripheral discharge, which has its origins in distribution of snack foods and
cereals onto radial scales, enables equal distribution of fine and coarse product.
The trough is fully lined to account for wear, and it is suspended by the same
method as traditional vibratory feeders. The suspension framework is mounted
on a trolley that can simply be moved out of the way for crusher maintenance.
In side-by-side installations of a feeder-plus-rotary distributor and a Syntron
Crusher Loading Feeder directly feeding the crusher, the Crusher Loading
Feeder delivered superior, cone-friendly performance. The specially configured
discharge blended fines and coarse materials to provide uniform distribution
of material to the cone.
In addition to the savings potential of reduced capital equipment costs, the
Syntron Crusher Loading Feeder provides easy installation and maintenance
accessibility. Like all Syntron feeders, the Crusher Loading Feeder is subresonant tuned and incorporates linear feed rate control to improve bulk
handling productivity. It can be sized to match application requirements.
For more information, call 1-800-356-4899 and ask to speak with one of
our applications specialists.

Recommended Designs for Hoppers and Transitions
Feeder Transition Hoppers
Feeder capacity depends on the design of the hopper. Material characteristics such as size distribution, shear properties and cohesiveness generally
dictate the configuration of feeder transition hoppers. Material flow
velocities vary, depending upon material properties, feeder stroke and
operating speed.
Good transition hopper design optimizes flow rate, resulting in the most
economical choice of a feeder. Improperly designed transition hoppers will
substantially reduce feeder capacities.
Figure 1 illustrates Ideal and Acceptable Hopper designs.The Ideal Hopper
with a throat (T) to gate height (H) ratio of 0.6 shows a uniform material
flow pattern to the feeder trough. Material at the front and rear of the
hopper moves at nearly the same velocity, and the discharge depth (d) is
nearly equal to the hopper gate height. The Ideal Hopper design allows the
most economical feeder to be used.
The Acceptable Hopper design may require a slightly larger feeder than
required for the Ideal Hopper design. This is due to the non-uniform flow
pattern of material at the rear of the hopper. Material flow velocity is
reduced, material depth “d” is reduced and there is a reduction in feeder
capacity. A T/H ratio of 0.6 to 1.0 is generally acceptable. However, when
the T/H ratio exceeds this range, the material flow patterns distort
drastically and will significantly reduce capacities.

Suggested Electromagnetic Size
If material size is -4-in with a trough down slope of up to 10 , use 30-40 ft/min.
If material size is +4-in to -12-in with a trough down slope of up to 10 , use 25-30 ft/min.
If material size is +12-in with a trough down slope of up to 10 , use 20-30 ft/min.

Suggested Electromechanical Size
If material size is -4-in with a trough down slope of up to 10 , use 50-60 ft/min.
˚
If material size is +4-in to -12-in with a trough down slope of up to 10 , use 45-55 ft/min.
˚
If material size is +12-in with a trough down slope of up to 10 , use 40-50 ft/min.
˚
Feeder down slope usually effects flow rate by 2% per degree. As down slope
increases flow rate increases. As down slope decreases flow rate decreases.

Reduced potential for material buildup
at inlet
Reduced potential for spillage at back
and sides
Reduced material load on feeder
Recommended Hopper Design and Feeder Selection
Refer to Figure 2.
1. Rear wall angle steep enough to permit material flow (60˚ ± 5˚).
2. Front wall angle just enough to permit material flow (55˚ ±5˚).
3. The throat dimension “T” for random size material should be a
minimum of 2 times the largest particle of material. For particles
that are nearly the same size (near size), “T” should be a minimum
of 4 times the largest particle size to prevent blockage at the throat
opening. In all cases, the arc “A” should exceed 2 1/2 times the
largest particle size.
4. Gate opening “H” must be a minimum of 2 times the largest
particle of material and should increase proportionally for the
desired capacity. The most economical feeder is selected when the
throat dimension “T” is equal to or slightly larger than H/2. If “T” is
greater than “H” the flow pattern of the material is disturbed, resulting in non-uniform flow.
5. When adjustable gates are used, the gate must be parallel to the
hopper’s front wall and must be as close to the front wall as possible.
The separation must not exceed 2 inches. The gate should act as an
adjustable front wall. Leveling blades and down stream gates must
not be used. Horizontal cut off gates should be used to perform
feeder maintenance and must not be used to regulate flow.
6. The inside width of the opening “D” (between stationary skirtboards)
should allow for a 1-inch clearance between the feeder trough and
skirt boards and should be a minimum of 2 1/2 times the largest
particle size. For near size material the width of “D” should be a
minimum of 4 times the largest particle size.
7. The minimum length of the feeder is determined by projecting the
angle of repose for the specific material from the gate point to the
feeder pan and adding approximately 6 inches.
8. The feeder must not contact any adjacent structure but must be
free to vibrate. Allowance must be made for a decrease in feeder
elevation of approximately 2 inches, due to static material load. In
addition, 1 inch minimum clearance at sides and 1 1/2 inches at
bottom and back must be maintained in both loaded and unloaded
conditions.

9. The skirts must taper in the direction of flow (diverge from
conveying surface) to prevent material from jamming and causing
additional problems such as spillage and build-up. Skirts must run
parallel to trough sides and must be reinforced to resist bulging
outward against trough.

sits directly on isolation springs
mounted on seats which attach to
the stationary support structure
made by others. The springs can be
steel coil, polymeric or pneumatic.
Electromagnetic Feeder Isolation
Suspension Mounting
Suspension-mounted vibratory equipment hangs from isolation assemblies
attached to the overhead stationary
support structure made by others.
RF Feeder Hanger
FMC Technologies recommends the
use of flexible wire rope for suspension-mounted vibratory equipment.
A chart of the proper wire rope sizes
is available on our website,
www.fmcsyntron.com, in our free
book “Working with Isolation” and in
our Service Instruction Manuals
which accompany the shipment of
equipment.

Syntron® Vibrators
Syntron® Vibrators
Syntron® Vibrators offer an efficient, cost-effective
means to maintain free flow of product from bins,
hoppers and chutes, with a direct and positive result on
the bottom line. Whether the need is to ensure constant,
uninterrupted material flow, or to eliminate the necessity
for manual manipulation of a bin, hopper or bulk material,
Syntron Vibrators increase productivity and reduce production costs.
Three types of Syntron Vibrators – electromagnetic,
rotary electric and pneumatic – provide product flow
solutions for just about any industry, application or
environment. Compact yet mighty, Syntron Vibrators are
designed for years of high-performance, trouble-free
continuous or intermittent operation, with the broadest
selection of models and power ranges available.
Syntron® Electromagnetic Vibrators
Syntron Electromagnetic Vibrators are ideal for continuous
or intermittent operation. An easily adjustable control
assures optimum and variable material flow. Dependable
Syntron Electromagnetic Vibrators are virtually maintenance-free because the electromagnetic design eliminates
moving parts. Most models come standard with fullyenclosed dust-tight and watertight construction.
Syntron Electric Rotary Vibrators are motor driven for
reduced noise levels. These rugged vibrators are totally
enclosed for reliable operation in dusty, dirty or moist
environments. Adjustable eccentric weights allow easy
adjustment of force to suit varying applications.
Syntron® Electric Rotary Vibrators by Visam
Syntron Pneumatic Vibrators can be installed where
electricity is not readily available because they use compressed air. Two types of pneumatic vibrators, turbine
and piston, are available. Designed to keep operating
noise at a minimum, Syntron Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators
are ideal for locations where noise pollution is undesirable.
Vibrator speed is adjusted by simply varying the air supply.
Pneumatic turbine vibrators feature totally enclosed
construction which eliminates concern over environmental
factors such as dust, dirt or moisture.
