The Problem: We can’t sell any more feeders to our customer because the original feeders are still operating after 30+ years!
The Equipment: Eriez Electromagnetic AC operated Vibratory Feeder
The Solution: Fortunately for us, the Northern Indiana customer uses corrosive chemicals to prevent the gravel, slag and coke from freezing in their silos. The customer called B & H after these feeders had seen over 30 years of very corrosive chemicals. We arrived at the facility in disbelief at the appearance of the Eriez Vibratory Feeders. The first three vibratory feeders were rusted beyond comprehension, due to the corrosive chemicals, but were still operating fine.
The customer uses (8) eight Eriez Heavy-Duty Model B Vibratory Feeders to feed and convey gravel, slag and coke from overhead hoppers to downstream equipment. The majority of the Eriez Vibratory Feeders were purchased in 1969. The Eriez Vibratory Feeders have operated continuously for thirty years – even in the tough corrosive environment.
The Result: Although the feeders are still working fine after all these years, the appearance of the feeders due to the corrosive chemicals has caused the customer to request new feeders. Due to the successful history of the Eriez Vibratory Feeders, the customer has submitted a request for (8) eight new Eriez Model B Vibratory Feeders.
