Magaldi has developed a reliable belt feeder for handling hot and abrasive materials.
The operation is similar to traditional belt feeders installed under hoppers with the benefit of a higher resistance to shock loads given by the sturdiness of the Magaldi Superbelt.

This type of feeder can be easily transformed in a weighing feeder by mean of load cells.

In this case the entire conveyor is supported by a load cell at one end and pivots at the other end.

The actual feed rate is determined by integrating the belt speed, which is taken from a tachometer and the weight signal which is given by the load cells.

The controller compares the actual feed rate with the desired feed rate and it adjusts the belt speed in order to deliver an uniform feed rate.

This unit is capable of handling material up to 600°C. The weighing cell is protected by the radiant heat of the transported material.
