Drum Feeder
Overview
A Drum Feeder is a bulk material handling device used to feed or discharge large quantities of materials like powders, granules, or pellets in a controlled and continuous flow. It is ideal for processes requiring steady, uniform feeding of materials from storage drums or bins into processing systems.
What is a Drum Feeder?
Drum feeders consist of a rotating drum or plate that moves materials from a hopper or storage container to the next stage in the production or packaging line. They provide accurate and adjustable feed rates to suit various industrial applications.

Our Process
How We Work
-
Available in various sizes and capacities
-
The rotating drum or plate moves the material steadily forward
-
Material is discharged at a controlled rate onto conveyors, chutes, or directly into machinery.
-
The feed rate can be adjusted by changing the drum speed or drum design
