Standard MS Feeder
Standard MS feeders are best suited to coarse-particle separation applications. Slurry enters the feeder through a fan-shaped nozzle that flattens and spreads the stream across the width of the feeder housing. The splash plate reduces the slurry’s velocity as it descends toward the rake, which further distributes the slurry as it flows out the discharge opening. Rubber curtains at the feeder outlet are the final stage in smoothing and evenly distributing the slurry as it flows onto the screen bed. The interior surfaces of the feeder box and inlet are completely lined with rubber to reduce wear.
Optional breaker boxes, each having an internal baffle, are often used in conjunction with MS feeders to reduce velocity of the feed slurry from the flow divider to the feeder. In certain applications reduced feed velocity leads to better screen performance.
