SKAKO has developed a copper recycling feeding system in cooperation with one of their customers. The system is fully automated and consists of a Lift Tipper and a Vibration Feeder that feeds copper material into two separate melting ovens.

On a given signal from the FV-feeder, the Lift Tipper fills recyclable material from a container
into the feeder. The melting oven has a load cell and is able to signal to the FV-feeder for more material when it reaches a preset minimum weight. The FV-feeder will then move forward towards the oven on its rails and start the material discharge.

The FV-feeder has an integrated weighing system and will stop the filling of material when the required amount has been filled into the oven. It will then return to its original position. The FV-feeder is motorized and can feed multiple ovens as it is placed on a rotating table that can turn 90 degrees.
