# Industrial Specification: Feeder System

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical system that supplies and distributes chips or aggregate material to the spreading mechanism in a chip spreader.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-3.0 MPa hydraulic pressure, 15-45 RPM auger speed, 0.1-0.8 m³/min volumetric flow rate**. Failure boundary: **Hydraulic pressure exceeding 3.5 MPa causes seal extrusion, auger speed below 10 RPM induces material bridging, flow rate above 1.0 m³/min creates particle segregation**, Mechanism: **Seal failure occurs via extrusion at 3.5 MPa due to elastomer yield strength of 10 MPa with safety factor of 2.85; bridging initiates at 10 RPM when material angle of repose (35°) exceeds hopper wall angle (30°); segregation occurs at 1.0 m³/min when Froude number exceeds 0.5 causing percolation**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Harmonic Vibration Force Generation**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_e = m \cdot r \cdot \omega^2 \sin(\omega t)$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Calculates centrifugal force for vibratory sifters/feeders.
