Wobbler feeders

2 Wobbler feeders
Metsos wobbler feeders are engineered with self cleaning, non-clogging elliptical bars
that make short work of sticky material without reducing productivity levels.
Feeds and scalps in one operation

The unique action of the Metso wobbler feeder can actually boost
material production from 50% to 100%. This is accomplished, in
one operation, by scalping out fnes and feeding only oversize
to your crusher or impactor. Maintenance is also reduced because
abrasive, choking fnes are by passed. Wobblers are self-cleaning
and resist clogging in wet, sticky materials. Metso wobbler feeders
operate with low horsepower and headroom requirements, and
without vibration, noise or transmitted stresses, making them ideal
for both stationary and portable applications.
The durable wobbler construction is designed to work at top ef-
ciency under heaped loads. The secret behind the Metso wobbler
feeders ability to handle wet, sticky or dry oversize material is in
the original Wobbler Feeder Principle. The positive action of the
rotating elliptical bars causes material to tumble forward assuring
separation of fnes and a uniform feed rate. Metso ofers a wide
choice of capacities to meet your specifc duty needs.

The Original Wobbler Feeder
Principle
1. Mine or quarry-run material dumped
directly on the elliptical bars.
Elliptical bars of steel form the bottom of
a receiving hopper and are set in alternate
vertical and horizontal positions. Mine or
quarry-run material is dumped directly on
the wobbler bed from trucks, draglines or
loaders. In heavy duty, high capacity applica-
tions, the wobbler is often fed from a heavy
duty apron feeder. Gravity causes some fnes
to pass immediately and forces the load into
positive contact with the wobbler bars.
2. As bars turn, fines, mud, or dirt drop
through the openings.
Wobbler bars rotate in the same direction, all
at the same speed. Spacing remains constant
throughout the rotation. As one bar turns
down, the succeeding one turns up, impart-
ing a rocking, tumbling motion to the load.
Oversize is wobbled, working loose more
fnes which sift through the wobbler bed
directly onto the conveyor belt.
3. Oversize moves forward in a rocking
roller motion.
Pressure of the load and wobbler action
moves the oversize forward, thoroughly
removing the fnes. Every wobbler bar is
a self-cleaning separator and will take out
wet, sticky, or clay materials without clogging.
Oversize is delivered free of dirt and clay.
The capacity of the crusher or impactor
is thereby greatly increased.
4. Standard and combination style
options available to meet your needs.
The wobbler should be choke loaded
for most efcient operation because
the greater the burden on the wobbler bed,
the more positive its action. Gravity removes
fnes, forces the load into contact with the
wobbler bars, but it is the crowding, pushing
action of the load itself that keeps the mate-
rial moving. Depending on your specifc
duty needs, both standard and combination
wobbler styles are available.
