Trough feeders are suitable for conveying and batch feeding of flowable bulk materials of almost any particle size. The trough feeder can be used underneath bulk material containers as a hopper discharge unit and therefore serves as a combined closure device, discharge, transport and batch feed device. A magnetic vibrator or unbalance motor generates a directional oscillation which moves the material over the tray from inlet to outlet. Hopper discharge units are self-locking; the principle is that the material comes to a halt due to the lack of vibration, causing a backlog. The material is transported very gently by means of fine vibrations.
