Swing Feeder
The swing feeder is an advanced feeding equipment designed to deliver uniform and controlled material flow in industrial applications. Ideal for mining, metallurgy, building materials, and chemical industries, it ensures consistent feeding while minimizing blockages and wear. Its pendulum-like motion allows smooth material discharge with adjustable capacity.
Capacity: 4.5-80 TPH
Feeding Size: ≤50mm
Power: 0.55-1.5 kW
Swing Feeder Overview
The swing feeder is a robust conveying device typically installed beneath storage bins or hoppers, designed to handle dry, non-caking bulk materials with particle sizes up to 50mm, such as ore, coal, cement, and aggregates. Its operational efficiency and adaptability make it ideal for harsh industrial environments, ensuring reliable performance with minimal maintenance.

Structures & Working Principle
Swing Feeder Structure
The swing feeder consists of the hopper, feeding trough, drive mechanism, support frame, etc.
- Hopper – Stores and guides material towards the discharge opening.
- Feeding Trough (Pan) – Designed with a reciprocating swing motion to regulate material flow.
- Drive Mechanism – Comprises an electric motor coupled with a reducer to power the swinging motion.
- Support Frame – Provides stability and ensures proper alignment with downstream equipment.
Swing Feeder Working Principle
The swing feeder is typically installed beneath the discharge opening of a storage bin. Ore falls from the bin’s discharge opening into the ore feeding box. During operation, the motor drives the worm gear reducer via a coupling. An eccentric wheel mounted on the output shaft of the reducer then drives the oscillating base plate of the feeding box in a reciprocating motion, thereby achieving uniform ore discharge. The feeding rate can be adjusted in two ways: by altering the stroke of the eccentric wheel via the calibrated dial on the eccentric disc, or by adjusting the oscillation frequency through the variable-speed motor’s speed.
