The automatic feeding machine, also known as a forced feeder, is a common plastic granulator auxiliary equipment, which is usually used with soft material plastic granulators. Its main function is to feed the raw materials into the inlet of the plastic pelletizer automatically in order to realize a continuous and stable production process.
Automatic feeding machine working principle
The working principle of the automatic feeding machine is to automatically feed the pre-stored raw materials in the silo into the inlet of the plastic granulator through mechanical transmission and control system. This enables a continuous and stable supply of raw materials, thus improving production efficiency and quality. Different types of forced feeders may differ in specific transmission methods, control systems, and other aspects, but the core principle is similar.
Why do you need an automatic feeding machine？
The characteristics of lightweight and soft materials such as plastic films make them prone to fly apart, have uneven build-up, and are even difficult to accurately feed into the pelletizer when manually feeding. In this case, an automatic feeding machine can solve many of the problems associated with manual feeding, improve production efficiency and ensure the stability and quality of the pelletizing process.
Advantages of forced feeder
- Prevention of fly-away and build-up: Lightweight materials such as plastic film tend to fly apart when fed manually. Forced feeders reduce scattering and buildup by controlling the speed and manner of feeding.
- Uniform feeding: The automatic feeding machine ensures that plastic film and other materials enter the feed inlet of the granulator uniformly, avoiding the problem of uneven feeding by hand.
- Accurate control: The forced feeder is equipped with a precise control system that adjusts the feeding speed and volume as needed for accurate feeding control.
- Increased productivity: Automatic feeding machines increase productivity by providing a continuous, consistent supply of material and reducing downtime due to manual feeding.
