Apron Feeder is widely used in mining, metallurgy, building materials, coal and other industrial area. It is suitable for short distance transportation for larger pieces of material, usually for large concentrator as a continuous, uniform and adjustable storage warehouse to primary crushing equipment.
The apron feeder is a reliable feeding method for when the material to be conveyed is lumpy, abrasive, heavy, high temperature. it is a feeding solution more robust than a traditional belt feeder is required. Apron feeders are designed to feed material at a desired handling capacity to downstream equipment. The conveyed material is on many overlapping pans attached to multiple strands of a heavy tractor crawler-type chain.

It can complete the heavy work in a bad environment, to the material granularity, the composition change, the temperature, the viscosity, the frost, the rain and snow influence or the frozen material all has the relatively big adaptability.
Drive unit with planetary or bevel helical gear boxes of worldwide leading manufacturers. For usage in cold areas drive units are equipped with special oil heating system.

Manganese pans are used instead of cast steel pans, with a longitudinal center rib, avoiding excessive deflections under high impact loading and severely abrasive working conditon.
4. Support Rollers
single flange tractor type rollers are mounted on support members in groups of 2 to 4 units to make disassembly and replacement easier. In the bunker feed in area, support rollers are mounted on shock absorbers to reduce the shock loads on the apron feeder construction during tipping.


Types of Apron feeders :
Light duty apron feeder, middle duty apron feeder and heavy duty apron feeder.



Apron Feeder is especially suitable for transporting large, high temperature and sharp materials, and it can reliably work in harsh and humid outdoor environments. Now the apron feeder has been widely used in cement, building materials, metallurgy, mining and other industrial sectors for its superior performance advantages.
