Agarbatti Feeder Transformer for Old Model Agarbatti Machine

Overview:

The agarbatti feeder transformer is a crucial component in older model agarbatti (incense stick) machines, specifically designed to regulate and step down the voltage required to drive the machine’s feeder motor. This transformer ensures smooth and controlled operation of the feeder system, which is responsible for the automatic feeding of bamboo sticks or blank agarbatti sticks into the pressing section of the machine.

Specifications:

• Transformer Type: Step-down, laminated core type
• Input Voltage Range: 0V – 22V AC (typically connected to a variable voltage source or controller)
• Output Voltage Range: 0V – 18V AC
• Frequency: 50/60 Hz
• Power Rating: Typically between 30VA to 100VA, depending on motor requirements
• Primary Winding: Designed to handle up to 22V AC safely
• Secondary Winding: Calibrated to provide a maximum of 18V AC for the feeder motor
• Cooling: Natural air-cooled (passive cooling)
• Enclosure: Usually encased in a metal or heat-resistant plastic housing to prevent dust ingress and enhance safety
• Terminals: Screw or plug-in terminals for secure wire connections
• Mounting Type: Base-mounted or bracket-mounted depending on machine design

Functionality and Role:

• Voltage Regulation: Converts the incoming variable AC voltage (0–22V) to a lower voltage range (0–18V) suitable for the feeder mechanism. This is essential for older machines that do not have built-in electronic voltage regulation.
• Feeder Motor Operation: Supplies the appropriate voltage to the feeder motor, allowing it to control the speed and pressure at which agarbatti sticks are fed into the machine.
• Speed Control Compatibility: The transformer works in conjunction with a dimmer or manual voltage regulator. Operators can control feeder speed by adjusting the input voltage, which the transformer steps down accordingly.

Applications:

• Designed specifically for older mechanical or semi-automatic agarbatti making machines.
• Suitable for low-voltage feeder motor systems, especially where electronic drive systems are not integrated.

Advantages:

• Simple and Robust: A reliable solution for older machines that require mechanical speed regulation.
• Low Maintenance: No moving parts, leading to minimal maintenance requirements.
• Cost-Effective: Inexpensive compared to modern electronic drives or variable frequency drives (VFDs).

Usage Tips:

• Always ensure the input voltage does not exceed 22V to avoid overheating or transformer failure.
• Check winding insulation periodically if the transformer is in a dusty or humid environment.
• Use with appropriate fusing or circuit protection to prevent overloads.
• For best performance, pair with a matching feeder motor with a compatible voltage rating.

                   GND                            GND

Note: Always use a fuse or MCB on the input side to protect the transformer. The dimmer can adjust input voltage to control the feeder speed.
