Vibratory Feeders

ORTON make vibratory conveyors find wide application in cement plants, steel plants, fertilizer industries, pharmaceutical industries, glass industry etc, where controlled feeding of material is required. These conveyors have proved their reliability in transporting bulk material over limited distances.

Depending on requirement and applications vibrating conveyors are available in electromagnetic & electromechanical types. Electromagnetic conveyors make use of an electromagnetic drive for generation of vibrations whereas electromechanical conveyors are powered by two unbalance motors rotating in possible directions. Electromagnetic vibrators are used in applications where stepless variation of feed rate from 0-100% is required. On the other hand electromechanical vibrators are used where the feed rate is not required to be changed frequently during operation or where a relatively constant feed rate is required.

Unbalance Vibratory Motor

Orton has a wide range of UNBALANCE MOTOR VIBRATORS to meet the requirement of various industries wherein material handling plays a major role.

These vibrators help to empty, dose, convey, loosen, test, clean, screen, compact, distribute, feed etc., & therefore have a very wide application in Mining, Fertilizer, Chemical , Pharma & Food Industry etc.

These vibrators are suitable for mounting on bin and storage silo, vibrating feeders, tables & screens & many other applications ORTON UNBALANCE MOTOR vibrators are totally enclosed, surface cooled units operating 415 / 440 volts, 3 phase, 50 cycles. A.C. Supply. The vibrating frequency depends on the revolutions of the rotary unit & can be chosen from four ranges available viz, : 3000, 1500, 1000, 750 vibrations per minute. The Centrifuge force can be adjusted from zero to maximum by manipulating the relative positions of the eccentric weights provided on either side of the shaft. Various models are available giving a wide choice of Centrifugal force, frequency of vibration, mounting position, Insulation etc. The customer is therefore assured of getting the most suitable vibrator to meet this requirements.
 

Vibrating Furnace Charges

Introduction :

Vibrating Furnace Charges are effective solutions to problems such as high labour cost, hazards to furnace operators faced in foundries, melting shops etc.  Such a kind of automation allows foundry men to work at a safe distance thus preventing injures arising out of molten metal splash.  It also facilitates in rapid and quick charging of the furnace thereby allowing maximum utilization of the furnace.  In addition to this, the damage to furnace lining is avoided which normally occurs in manual charging of the furnaces.

Principle Of Operation :

The required amount of scrap metal is loaded into the storage hoper at the loading point.  The trolley the carries the vibrating feeder along with the storage hopper to the furnace charging point.  Here, the vibrating feeder is energized and the material is effectively discharged into the furnace as per the required capacity.  As the metal is melted down, fresh batch of metal can be fed into the furnace thereby keeping the furnace full.  The capacity of the vibrating feeder can be varied by varying the amplitude of variations.  The amplitude of vibrations can be varied by adjusting the position of centrifugal weights or by using a variable frequency drive (optional).  A control panel specially designed to suit individual client requirement depending on the sequence of operations required is provided.
 

Torque Controller Cable Reeling Drums

Orton have a complete range of motor driven torque controller cable reeling drums. This reels shown in this catalogue are direct reeling units where the cable compartment is mounted directly on the torque controller. For those applications where the length and weight of the cable is in excess of the design capability of the direct reeling units, we have the indirect driven torque controller reels. With these reels the torque controller unit powers the reel compartment through a suitably selected transmission system. These types of cable reels are a reliable, low cost solution for reeling long lengths of cable. These drums are available for a complete range of cable lengths from 30 to 500 meters, for voltage upto 11000 V. These drums are easily installed, have an absolute minimum maintenance requirement and are virtually unaffected by extremes of temperature and environment. These types of cable reeling drums are available in 3 types viz monospiral, standard lay and random lay.

Advantages

• Uses standard AC or DC motor as prime motor.
• This design reduces tensions in the reeled cable substantially as against other form of drive.
• Lubricated for life gearbox.
• Range of drive units to suit various sizes and length of cable to be reeled.
• Reduced overall size as compared with conventional motor.
• No chain drives, hence reduced maintenance.
• Selected reel will cover wide range of cable length & sizes.
• No additional brake required.
• Combinations of core sizes and quantities can be readily accommodated, in standard size of housing.
