Pocket Feeder

Featuring a gear motor drive, Pocket Feeders provide a uniform feed rate into your hammermill. A variable-speed drive or auto load minder provides rate adjustment.

As the name indicates, Pocket Feeders use a rotor mechanism much like a rotary air lock to evenly distribute the feed to the hammermill. The rotor is segmented, and the pockets are staggered to improve the distribution of the feed rate. Because the rotary pocket feeder relies on a free-flowing material to fill the pocket, they are best suited to granular materials with a density of 30 pounds per cubic foot or more. Typical applications would be whole grains and coarsely ground mixed rations.
