Product catalog summary
Overview: The document is a product bulletin for Direct Drive Feeders, Screeners, and Conveyors by Rotex Europe, designed for bulk handling industries. It highlights the functionality, specifications, and benefits of these machines.
How It Works: Direct Drive Feeders and Conveyors use contra-rotating electromechanical motors to impart an upward and forward stroke to the feeder body. The motor angle determines the preference for lift or conveying. Installation options include Rosta, Barrel, or Suspension mounts, with safety straps where necessary.
Applications: These machines are suitable for light to heavy-duty applications, offering a cost-effective solution for screening, feeding, and conveying. They are fully isolated in design and can be suspended or floor-mounted.
Specifications:
  • Drive Mechanism: Adjustable stroke from zero to 10mm, with electromechanical drives and adjustable weights for tuning.
  • Isolation Mounts: Rosta mechanical and standard barrel mounts for foot-mounted requirements; suspension designs include isolation rods and rubber mounts.
  • Hopper Interface: Options for open or fully enclosed interfaces with or without rod gate isolation systems.
  • Screens: Available in hook strip design with manual tensioning or taper slot finger design. Media designs include square and slotted aperture mesh, rod decks, taper finger decks, piano wire, and perforated plate.
  • Construction: Machines are available in mild or stainless steel, with liners in various materials like UHMWP, Abro, Hardox, Alumina, and Ceramic.
  • Sizes: Range from 200mm to 2m wide and 0.5m to over 6m long.
  • Enclosures: Options for bolted or quick-release mechanisms, with fully enclosed systems using Trelleborg seals and shrouds.
Performance and Analysis: Rotex offers free material analysis with over 100 years of proven correlation between lab tests and field performance. Experienced technicians recommend machine size, settings, and screen openings for efficient separations, supported by comprehensive separation analysis and ROI data.
Customer Feedback: The Direct Drive feeders are noted for reliability and simplicity, with Rosta mounts enhancing machine stability during start/stop conditions.
Model Specifications: The document includes detailed specifications for various models, including dimensions, capacities, power requirements, and weights, tailored to medium and heavy-duty applications.

Direct Drive Feeder-1

Feeders,Screeners & Conveyors How it Works Feeders,Screeners & Conveyors Direct Drive™ Satisfy Light to Heavy Duty Applications in a Cost-Effective Way How it Works: Direct Drive Feeders & Conveyors Drive mechanism: The utilisation of contra-rotating electromechanical motors imparts both an upward & forward stroke to the main feeder body. The angle of the motors determines the preference towards either lift or conveying. The stroke can be adjusted from zero to around 10mm in most cases. Screens: Screens are usually of a hook strip design with manual tensioning or of a taper slot finger design in the form of removable modular baskets. Typical media designs include - square aperture & slotted aperture mesh. Rod decks, taper finger decks, piano wire, perforated plate. The Direct Drive Product Range is designed for screening, feeding and conveying your product in a cost effective way. Direct Drive Feeder Twin vibrator drive Specification: Direct Drive Screeners, Feeders & Conveyors Enclosures: Covers can be offered with either bolted or quick release mechanisms. Fully enclosed systems use Trelleborg type seals & enclosed shrouds. Sizes: Sizes range from 200mm – 2m wide & from 0.5m to over 6m long. Hopper interface: For hopper bottom installations Rotex can provide either an open type or fully enclosed type interface with or without a rod gate isolation system. Drives: The drives are from an electromechanical range with adjustable weights for accurate tuning. Voltages & IP requirements can be offered to suit most applications. Screens: Typical media designs include - square aperture & slotted aperture mesh. Rod decks, taper finger decks, piano wire, perforated plate.
