Ever wonder how heavy materials move so smoothly in factories and mining sites? The secret lies in feeders—powerful machines that control the flow of bulk materials. These systems are essential in keeping industrial processes running without interruption. Feeders are especially important in material handling operations where timing, flow rate, and equipment coordination matter. They work closely with heavy-duty machines like reach stackers to ensure materials are moved, loaded, or stored efficiently. In this post, you’ll learn what feeders are, why they matter, and discover the three main types used across industries: apron feeders, vibrating feeders, and belt feeders.
