Centrifugal feeder device having an outer enclosure (2) which accommodates a ring (3) mounted rotatably in the enclosure (2) and lying in an approximately horizontal plane, and a disc (4) rotatable in the ring (3). The axis (5) of rotation of the disc (4) is inclined with respect to the axis (6) of rotation of the ring (3), the disc (4) and the ring (3) approximately tangent to each other in a transfer area (10) and distant from each other in a loading area (8). The ring (3) is surrounded by a lateral guide (15). The ring (3) supplies an outlet channel (13) whose inlet is situated above a part of useful width of the ring, the ring (3) is provided with approximately radial notches (3a), and the device includes a mechanism for adjusting the useable width of the ring (3).
A centrifugal feed device comprising an outside enclosure accommodating a mounted ring rotating in the enclosure and extending into a horizontal or approximately horizontal plane, and a mounted disc rotating inside said ring, the axis of rotation of the disc being inclined in relation to the axis of rotation of the ring, the disc and the ring being tangent or approximately tangent to one another in a transfer area and being remote from one another in a loading area located at a level lower than that of transfer area, the ring being surrounded by a lateral guide defining, with an inside lip of ring, a useful width of the ring, the ring serving an outlet channel having an intake located above a part with the useful width of the ring, the centrifugal feed device comprising means for permitting the adjustment of the useful width of the ring, the ring is equipped with radial or approximately radial teeth, a lateral wall of the enclosure having a circular or approximately circular upper lip located in the proximity of and facing the lower lip of the ring, the lateral wall surrounding the disc closely, the disc and the lateral wall defining a hollow that is the loading area.
