Carrier Blast Feeders

Carrier blast feeding systems can pay for themselves by automating your system and reducing your manpower. The blast feeders can be mounted on trolleys to feed multiple blast machines and to accommodate for layout restraints. Other options such as flop gates, load cells, and double indexing can be accommodated as well. Carrier’s design has proven to be the heaviest in the industry reducing your maintenance and downtime.

Customized to Your Operation – All blast feeders equipment is custom engineered to fit your exact needs.

Features & Benefits

Heavy-duty feeder drive system provides long-lasting operation.

Optional liners with noise reducing backing.

Load cells with readout provide real-time, accurate weight data to ensure optimal material, energy, and process management.

Weigh cells provide accurate changes.

Fume hood provides a safer and cleaner environment.

Anwendungen

Foundry Charge Materials & Scrap Metal

Automate the heavy-duty transfer of foundry charge materials, sprues, scrap metal, and alloys directly into high-temperature melting or smelting systems using controlled vibratory motion. Rugged construction provides consistent feed rates while handling heavy, irregular loads to ensure a safer, more precise loading process while stabilizing the melt deck and improving overall furnace efficiency.

Melt Stock & Heavy Scrap Castings

Transfers dense melt stock and heavy scrap castings into furnaces with controlled, positive material movement. Heavy-duty trough construction withstands impact while regulated feeding supports efficient furnace charging while keeping employees a safe distance from intense heat.

Dross & Sand

Handles abrasive dross and sand using engineered vibration for controlled material transfer. Robust construction maintains reliable flow while reducing buildup and supporting downstream recovery, reclamation, or melting operations. Provide a safer, automated method for loading materials directly into high-temperature furnaces, minimize heat loss from open furnace doors, and reduce both energy consumption and labor costs.

Furnace Feeders FAQs

What is a furnace feeder and blast charge feeder used for?

Furnace and blast charge feeders provide a safer and more precise loading option for blast and melt deck applications into a high-temperature cupola or induction furnaces while maintaining stable production conditions.

What materials can furnace feeders handle?

Carrier furnace feeders are commonly used to feed foundry charge materials, scrap metal and castings, dross, sand, minerals, and other bulk solids into melting or thermal processing systems.

How do furnace feeders improve furnace efficiency?

Carrier’s furnace feeders automate material handling, which enables continuous, metered charging. This reduces energy consumption and labor costs while minimizing heat loss from open furnace doors.

Are Carrier furnace feeders designed for high-temperature environments?

Yes. Carrier furnace feeders are engineered with durable, heat-resistant components that operate reliably in demanding thermal processing applications.

Can furnace feeders be integrated into existing furnace systems?

Absolutely. Carrier engineers custom-design furnace feeders to integrate with existing furnace layouts, material handling systems, and plant operating requirements. Feeder designs are tailored to match your furnace’s charge rate, elevation, discharge configuration, and plant layout, ensuring smooth integration with minimal modifications.

How do I determine the correct feeder size and capacity?

Carrier evaluates your material characteristics, temperature profile, feed rate, and operational environment to size the feeder correctly for your process.
