Used and New Surplus Reciprocating Feeders for Sale
Savona Equipment is a worldwide supplier of used, refurbished and surplus new reciprocating feeders for controlled material handling applications. Reciprocating feeders use a horizontal back-and-forth motion to regulate the flow of bulk materials from hoppers, bins and stockpiles to downstream equipment such as crushers, conveyors and screening systems.

There are two main types of reciprocating feeders, each designed for specific applications:
Ale Shear Gate Type Plate Feeder: This feeder operates within a conventional plane-flow hopper, where material flow depends on the development of a shear plane in the bulk solid. It is best suited for handling bulk solids with controlled particle size, ensuring a consistent and regulated feed rate.
Open Front Type Plate Feeder: Unlike the shear gate type, this feeder moves the entire mass of solid material forward during each stroke. Feeding is dependent on funnel flow in the rear portion of the hopper, making it ideal for handling run-of-mine (ROM) materials with large lumps.

In both cases, feeding occurs during the return stroke of the plate, ensuring a steady, controlled discharge of material. Reciprocating feeders are commonly used in mining, aggregate, cement and heavy-duty material handling industries for feeding materials such as coal, ore, aggregates and industrial minerals. Many models include adjustable stroke lengths and speeds to optimize material flow for specific operational needs. We supply reciprocating feeders and components from leading manufacturers to meet the specific requirements of your operation.
