Spreader Feeders

Our industrial spreader feeders are engineered to transform uneven, choked material streams into a uniform, wide blanket of product. By distributing bulk materials evenly across the entire width of your downstream processing lines, these rugged units maximize the efficiency of your optical sorters, screens, and dryers while preventing uneven equipment wear. Built to handle everything from heavy aggregates to fine chemicals, our spreader feeders feature adjustable stroke lengths and variable speeds to match your plant's exact flow requirements. If you want to eliminate line bottlenecks and get the absolute highest efficiency out of your existing processing equipment, our spreading systems are built to deliver.

Typical applications

  • Spreader feeders are for vertical and horizontal feed installations taking the narrow stream of material and spreading to a wider area for further processing. 
  • Spreading material over vibratory screens.
  • Spreading material for optical or X-ray sorting equipment.
  • Spreading material over eddy current or magnetic separators.
  • Spreading material for ballistic separating equipment.
  • For feeding screens or other processes having infeed widths as low as 600mm with discharges up to 4m wide.

Design Options

  • Fabricated from mild steel or stainless steel (304 or 316).
  • Wear resistant liners (Steel, Plastic, Rubber or Specialist coatings).
  • Manufacturing capability to any width.
  • Suitable for sizes up to 4m width, larger sizes available on request.
  • Options for fitting wear plates within to resist abrasive material.
  • Can be supplied with a support frame if required.
