GRAU RECIPROCATING PLATE FEEDERS
WHAT IS A RECIPROCATING PLATE FEEDER?
A Reciprocating Plate Feeder consists of a frame with a thick wear-resistant steel sheet plate at the top. The frame with the plate moves back and forth with the help of a hydraulic piston drive. When plate comes forward the gap at the rear end gets filled with material and when the plate goes backward a portion of material gets discharged. The frame sits on a set of bearings that don’t require maintenance or lubrication.
A GOOD ALTERNATIVE FOR APRON FEEDERS
Reciprocating Plate Feeders can handle large feed size which can be discharged from higher levels as there is always material on the plate which relives the impact. These feeders can handle wet and sticky material, can withstand strong impacts similar to Apron Feeders, yet they are more economical and require less maintenance.

Operational Advantages GRAU Reciprocating Plate Feeder components require less maintenance compared to other types of feeders. High impact resistance allows for faster damping from higher levels and hydraulic drive system allows changing the stroke and speed of the piston remotely giving full control over the feed rate. -
