CPG-10 Vibrating Feeder Hopper 150-200 T/H

The CPG-10 vibrating feeder represents a critical solution in modern stone crushing operations, designed specifically for facilities processing 150-200 tons per hour. This equipment serves as the primary feeding mechanism positioned before main crushers, jaw crushers, or primary impact crushers, ensuring optimal material flow and operational efficiency throughout the crushing line.

CONSTMACH has engineered this vibrating feeder with a robust body measuring 3,000 x 850 mm, coupled with a 1,160 mm grizzly length that effectively pre-screens incoming material. The dual motor configuration, featuring 2 x 4.5 kW power units, delivers consistent vibration patterns that maintain smooth material movement without creating excessive wear on the unit itself. The hopper volume options of 10, 15, or 20 cubic meters provide flexibility based on specific site requirements and material characteristics, allowing operators to select the configuration that best matches their production demands.

The significance of this feeder becomes apparent when examining the operational challenges faced in crushing plants without proper feeding systems. When material flows directly into crushers without regulation, sudden surges create bottlenecks that ripple through the entire production line. Conveyors struggle under instantaneous loads, screens become overwhelmed, and downstream equipment operates under stress conditions they weren't designed to handle. These irregular feeding patterns create particular difficulties for impact crushers, cone crushers, VSI crushers, and sand-making machines, where material must enter at controlled rates to achieve proper reduction ratios.

The consequences of uncontrolled feeding extend beyond immediate operational disruptions. Hammers, wear plates, and other consumable components experience accelerated degradation when subjected to fluctuating loads. Impact forces vary dramatically with material flow rates, and inconsistent feeding generates hot spots within crushing chambers that can lead to thermal failures. The efficiency loss from premature wear reaches as high as 60% in some operations, translating directly into increased replacement costs and extended downtime for maintenance interventions.

Belt conveyor systems suffer considerably from irregular material distribution as well. Uneven loading causes belt tracking problems, creates localized abrasion that wears through belting prematurely, and generates unbalanced forces on idler rollers. These conditions lead to bearing failures, drum shaft damage, and emergency repairs that disrupt production schedules. The CPG-10 addresses these issues by regulating material discharge, ensuring that downstream equipment receives a steady, uniform flow that falls within design parameters.

What sets this vibrating feeder apart is its operational reliability under demanding conditions. The smooth vibration characteristics minimize structural fatigue, extending service life while reducing maintenance requirements. The unit weighs 12,000 kg, providing the mass necessary for stable operation even when handling abrasive materials. This substantial construction prevents the resonance issues that plague lighter feeders, maintaining consistent performance across varying material densities and particle size distributions.

The strategic placement of vibrating feeders in crushing circuits eliminates the fluctuations that compromise both product quality and equipment longevity. By buffering the variable output from loading operations, the CPG-10 creates the stable conditions necessary for screens to perform effective particle separation and for crushers to maintain optimal reduction ratios. This consistency enables plants to achieve target gradations reliably, reducing the percentage of off-spec material that requires reprocessing.

For operations processing 150-200 tons per hour, the CPG-10 vibrating feeder delivers the controlled feeding essential for maximizing throughput while minimizing operational costs. The combination of adequate capacity, durable construction, and reliable performance makes this unit a fundamental component in well-designed crushing systems where equipment protection and product quality remain paramount concerns.
