The feeder system of the series FlexiLink consists of a pneumatic linear vibrator from our series NTK, blade springs and the FlexiLink connector element. This system uses the natural resonance of the springs to move bulk materials along the conveyor. Once the trough starts to vibrate at the resonance frequency, maintaining the vibration requires very little additional energy. Even with varying loads, the trough continues to vibrate with the correct resonance. The amplitude can be adjusted by means of an optional exhaust throttle.
In addition to driving classic feeder troughs, the FlexiLink system can be used to drive bowl feeders, by arranging the blade springs in a circle to accommodate the spiral feeder. Customized versions of the FlexiLink series are available and all components can be purchased separately.
