Eriez has announced that its B-HC high-capacity line of electromagnetic vibratory feeders has earned ETL listing through Intertek for CSA and UL compliance.

The range has also achieved an IP65 rating, confirming dust- and water-tight performance for demanding processing environments.

The B-HC line offers the widest capacity range in the industry.

It is capable of delivering controlled amounts from just a few kilograms up to 1,089 metric tonnes, or 1,200 tons, of bulk material per hour.

This high throughput supports heavy-duty applications in mining, aggregates, minerals and bulk processing.

Clay O’Dana, Eriez Global Product Manager – Vibratory, said the certifications validate the durability customers have already experienced in the field.

With CSA/UL and IP65 ratings, operators now have an added level of confidence that the feeders can withstand challenging operating conditions.

The B-HC line incorporates Eriez’ rare earth permanent magnetic armature assembly.

This applies power in both forward and reverse tray directions for precise linearity and control.

Its epoxy-encased coil-and-magnet assembly helps protect against dust and moisture, prevents coil movement and extends service life.

A compact, energy-efficient AC control system with accelerometer feedback provides accurate variable-speed feed rate control.

By eliminating sliding and rotating parts, the system reduces frictional losses, lowers energy consumption and minimises maintenance.

Suitable applications

The dust- and water-tight construction makes B-HC feeders well suited to a range of applications.

In mining and aggregates, they can handle coal, ore, sand, silica, slag and similar materials.

In minerals and abrasives, they support precise feeding and screening of hard, abrasive materials.

In bulk processing, they can meter powders, granules and many other dry bulk materials.

Designed for headload applications

B-HC feeders are designed for headload applications beneath hoppers, metering bulk materials to conveyors, screens, crushers and elevators.

Trays are available in standard and custom-engineered designs.

Options include dust covers, screens and abrasion-resistant liners.

Flexible mounting options include base-mounted or suspension arrangements, with undermount or overhead drive configurations.
