TubeFeeder®
The TubeFeeder® by Jeffrey Rader brand revolutionizes material reclaiming with its innovative design. It is available in two different configurations: the Traditional System and the Rotating System. Both versions deliver superior efficiency and performance compared to conventional reclaimers, with patented technology that supports continuous 24/7 operation, minimal downtime, and energy consumption reduced by over 70%. Its unique under-pile configuration minimizes shear forces, extending component wear-life and maintaining product quality. Whether utilizing the Traditional System or the Rotating System, the TubeFeeder® ensures uniform reclaiming in any travel direction, precise homogenization, and the flexibility to handle a wide range of materials. the TubeFeeder® stands as the optimal solution for biomass energy plants, pulp and paper industries, and beyond—boosting productivity while reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
