This firm’s line of volumetric Rectangular Feeder Machines (RFM) has been extended to include the compact, self-contained RFM Integra Series, vibrating feeders with a built-in bulk hopper inlet. This new Series has an integrated hopper and feeder design that relies on the actuation of two electrical vibrators to ensure a constant, reliable flow of castings, billets and other large parts. The design is also suited to a number of applications in the chemical process industries (CPI). Engineered for continuous flow control, the Series eliminates the need for steeply angled hopper walls associated with gravity hoppers. The Integra models offer a lower overall height and hopper walls angled at less than 30 deg for reduced material dump height. — Cleveland Vibrator Co., Cleveland, Ohio
