Chip Feeder
The BM&M Rotary Star Chip Feeder is used in wood chip applications to provide surge control, consistent feed rate, and full width distribution of chips across the infeed of a screen.
Controls Surge, Feed Rate and Full Width Distribution of Wood Chips
The chip feeder is mounted to the bottom of a suitably-sized, customer-supplied surge bin via a bolted flange. A surge bin and rotary chip feeder can reduce the size of your chip screen by reducing the surge capacity requirements of the screen and by increasing the chip screen’s efficiency through even distribution. Standard practice is to use a feeder that is 1’ to 2’ narrower than the chip screen itself.

Innovative Technology for Enhanced Performance
Our rotary chip feeder features a positive-displacement, six-pocket rotor to evenly distribute the chip load onto your gyratory screen’s infeed chute. A relief gate, controlled by adjustable air cylinders, allows oversize chunks or debris to bypass the rotor, preventing plugs and damage.
Note: This feeder is designed for use with wood chips only.
