ATEX explosion-proof vibrating feeders for tea handling

In our latest application report, we show the successful application of an AViTEQ Aviatec lightweight vibratory feeder system in a tea production plant in the UK.

Thanks to this precisely tailored solution, customers are able to save space and increase productivity under demanding conditions.

🔧 Core technical parameters:

• Capacity: 2.5 tons / hour
• Bulk Material: Tea
• Bulk density: 0.3-0.54 kg/l
• Particle size: 0.2-5 mm
• Process: dosing to processing
• Drive: Lightweight feeder drive
• Operating environment: ATEX Zone 21 (dust explosion hazardous area)

💡 Special Challenge:

The solution is designed for use in ATEX zone 21 – a result of our expertise in explosion protection.
Despite the tight installation space and high technical requirements, the required conveying capacity was realized safely and efficiently.

✅ Customer Benefits:

Equipped with our largest model of lightweight feeder drives, these vibratory feeders are ideal for precision metering of fine to coarse tea leaves in very small spaces.
By using only one drive instead of two, the customer has realized significant savings in parts, maintenance and investment costs for 58 similar units.
