Greater production demands are calling for greater efficiencies in the production line, and vibratory equipment can help, says Enmin.

VIBRATORY Cross Feeders can provide a very efficient solution when matched with multi head weighers, as they are able to convey product and accurately control feed rates to the weigher, according to equipment manufacturer Enmin.
Greater production demands within the packaging industry has led to the necessity for greater efficiencies when using a multi head weigher in the production line, the company says. This, coupled with the demand to handle a wider range of product types, means that the flow of product to the
weigh head is critical. This also means an even
greater need for reliability, ease of maintenance and the hygienic aspect of the equipment, Enmin says.
Enmin's Vibratory Cross Feeder aims to bridge this gap. Vibratory equipment within the food and allied industries is recognised as a desirable approach to convey and meter products, the company says.
The cross feeder employs standard Enmin LD electromagnetic vibratory drives to convey product and accurately control feed rates. As the LD electromagnetic drives are electronically

controlled, a variety of controllers are available ensuring flexibility and the ability to achieve the optimal conveying output required.
Hygiene, minimal maintenance, and reliability are critical when processing food products. The vibratory cross feeder can deliver benefits in all three of these areas.
With investment costs also of great importance, Enmin ensures a close working relationship throughout
the design, approval, manufacturing and installation process in order to guarantee the best solution is delivered and seamlessly integrated into existing production lines without operational glitches. ✷
