EMF
Series

Cleveland Vibrator’s Model EMF Electromechanical Vibratory Feeder utilizes twin Rotary Electric Vibrator Drives (RE) which are
available in four speeds for medium to heavy-duty applications. These twin drives all produce a linear motion that provides
smooth, uniform, volumetric flow which is fully adjustable.

Units are mounted horizontally, requiring no gravitational assistance for product conveying. The continuous duty rated
vibratory motors are the only moving parts, ensuring a lower cost of maintenance than other mechanically driven feeders.

feed materials through processing two (RE) Rotary Electric Motors

Benefits of the EMF Electromechanical Feeder include:

• Control feed of bulk materials, parts or scrap from bins, hoppers and conveyors into production or melt down processes
• Rugged and low maintenance design ensure low cost over long product life
• Improved production rates and product quality
• Faster, more streamlined production lines
• Isolators with support base limits noise levels
• Controls allow you the flexibility to adjust vibration intensity and frequency
• Choose from our many options for product contact surface materials, including stainless steel, UHMW plastic lining and

 Volumetric Feeders
The Cleveland Vibrator Company’s Volumetric Vibratory Feeder is a compact, self-contained unit that incorporates a bulk
supply hopper with a vibrator and a vibratory pan feeder.

Both air and electric powered units can be equipped with independent variable controls for adjusting flow rate and
vibratory intensity.

Special control features are available where timed feed rates or operation from a scale signal is required. Scale
operated machines can be equipped with an automatic or manual two-station push button control. One button
controls the fast speed to accomplish most of the filling, while a second button controls slow dribble feed that enables
the operator’s scale to stop at the desired rate.

 RFM Integra Series
RFM
Integra The Cleveland Vibrator Company has extended their line of Volumetric
Series Rectangular Feeder machines to include the compact, self-contained
RFM Integra Series Vibratory Feeders with a built-in bulk hopper inlet to
aid in your material flow.
The new series has an integrated hopper and feeder
design that relies on the actuation of two electrical
vibrators, typically our (RE) Rotary Electric Motors, to ensure
a constant, reliable flow of castings, billets and other large
parts.
Engineered for continuous flow control, the RFM
Integra eliminated the need for steeply angled
hopper walls associated with gravity hoppers.

The Integra models offer a lower overall height and hopper walls angled
at less than 30° for reduced material dump height. An adjustable swing-
out gate further aids in flow control and reduces the potential for hang
up as material moves from the hopper to the feeder tray.

Models can easily be equipped with independent variable frequency

controls (VFC) for adjusting flow rate. Special control features are
available where timed feed rates or operation from a scale signal are
required.
Units are available in a wide range of feeder tray sizes and hopper
capacities. Consult our Sales Department at 1-800-221-3298 for more
details.

Tube Feeders
Cleveland Vibrator’s Tube Feeder model provides
an enclosed tubular shaped feed tray that allows for
materials to feed consistently and effectively without
being exposed to external environmental factors.

• Electromechanical (Rotary Electric Motors)

• Pneumatic (VMSAC/VMS)
• Electromagnetic

Air Powered Feeders
Cleveland Vibrator’s Air Powered Feeders are primarily used in applications where simple, economical control of the feed
rate is desired. Air Powered Feeders are recommended for hazardous areas instead of more expensive electric alternatives.

The drive is a dependable air-cushioned piston vibrator. The double diameter piston vibrator guarantees starting at any
mounting angle without the use of a return spring. An exhaust muffler is provided to reduce noise level, while further noise
reduction can be achieved by porting the exhausting air way from the work area.

Coating the bore to enable operation without lubricated air is available. Standard air
controls include a quick acting solenoid valve (115/1/60) lubro control and 5’ hose
with fittings. Explosion proof valves are also available.

Capacities are based on standard flat tray models using materials that weighs 100 lbs.
per cubic foot. Other tray options available.
