Appendix #1 – Feeder Configurations
Choosing the correct rotary feeder configuration for your plant and installing the feeder in the
proper orientation relative to the pneumatic line flow under the feeder are very important.
Left-handed and right-handed rotors each have two specific configurations that provide a
smooth transition of the material being conveyed out of the rotor and into the T-injector and
the pneumatic line.
The helix will always rotate towards the knife, but the drive rotation (CCW/CW) and air flow
direction (left to right/right to left), will change per application. It is important to apply this
correctly. As the helix rotates it should always "open" downstream of the air flow, so that the
first material to exit the rotor pocket is at the T-injector's exit. Examples of correct orientation
and installation are shown on the following pages:
