The vibrating mechanism has been fastened by
bolting it to the under edge of the side plates. The spring supports are bolted to the feeder body,

stroke length to be adjusted accordingly.

Special bearings are used in the feeders to

guarantee a long lifetime. The shafts are oil
lubricated.

3 Drive machinery

An electric or a hydraulic motor can be used in the

feeder. The opposite rotation movement of the drive
shafts is caused by tooth-wheels in the shaft.
