Cross Feeder / Discharge

Role of Cross Feeders in Powder Transfer System

A cross-feeder’s importance in industrial processes comes from its ability to ensure consistent and reliable powder discharge, which is essential in ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted production flow. Irregular discharge can lead to operational disturbances, disrupt downstream operations, and potentially damage equipment. 

A cross feeder or discharger is the equipment used to move powdered or granular materials within a processing or manufacturing system. These devices are essential for controlled powder movement in industrial applications like pharmaceuticals, batteries, chemicals, food items, and others. 

The Aishin cross feeder is connected to the hopper, allowing material to flow into it. Inside the cross feeder, blades move in an anticlockwise direction, helping to evenly distribute the material. This efficient system features a cone-shaped structure at the center of the cross feeder, designed to prevent blockages and clogs while ensuring a consistent flow of powder material. At the end of the process, there is a discharging point where the material is released for further processing. 

Features

  • The cross-discharger facilitates the discharge of bulk materials from large-sized silos and hoppers.  
  • Cross feeder/discharger is used to discharge powder/slurries with poor flow characteristics at a fixed rate from silos/hoppers  
  • Easy design solving major discharge problems increasing the productivity of the plant   

Benefits

  • Uniform powder discharge 
  • Operational efficiency 
  • Equipment protection 
  • Material handling precision 
  • Prevention of clogs
