Apron Feeder

EXCT Apron Feeder is engineered for controlled, continuous feeding of large and abrasive materials in mining, coal, quarrying and bulk handling applications. It provides a robust interface between hoppers, truck dump stations or stockpiles and downstream crushers, screens or conveyors.
Each feeder is sized to suit required capacity, lump size, material characteristics, feeder length and site conditions, with drive and wear protection configured accordingly. Its heavy-duty construction supports demanding loading conditions, while variable-speed control enables stable material flow and smooth coordination with complete crushing and conveying systems.

main component & FEATURES
apron feeder pans

Pans
According to different working conditions, we will choose the most suitable design to meet your requirements. For example, we use manganese pans to replace cast steel pans, with a longitudinal center rib, avoiding excessive deflections under high-impact loading and severely abrasive working conditons.

Sprocket
Sprocket design features three cast manganese alloy steel segments that allow replacement of one segment at a time, without needing to dismantle the feeder or remove the chain, pans, skirts and material on the feeder.
Rather than taking multiple shifts to change out the drive sprockets, the upgraded design allows a changeout in just hours. In addition, a half-tooth design with an odd number of teeth is used to allow contact with the chain during every second turning, which doubles the life of the sprockets.
apron feeder chains

Chains
The track chain is used in our apron feeder, because the pin and bush are made of heat-treated alloy steel. To withstand greater weight, the chain link is made by drop forging, which can effectively prevent the external sands entering, thus, prolong the chain life.

Rollers
Single flange tractor type rollers are mounted on support members in groups of 2 to 4 units to make disassembly and replacement easier.

FAQ OF APRON FEEDER

How is the capacity of an Apron Feeder
determined?


Capacity depends on feeder width, speed, material
bulk density, particle size and loading conditions.
How is the maximum feed size determined? 2.How is the maximum feed size
determined?

It depends on feeder width, hopper design,
material characteristics and impact conditions.
How do I select the right Apron Feeder? 3. How do I select the right Apron Feeder?

Consider capacity, feed size, bulk density,
feeder length, hopper opening, material
abrasiveness and operating duty.
Can an Apron Feeder start under full load? 4. Can an Apron Feeder start under
full load?

Yes. The drive system can be designed with
sufficientstarting torque and overload capacity
for loaded starts.
How can wear be reduced in abrasive applications? 5. How can wear be reduced in abrasive
applications?

Proper component selection, optimized feeder
speed,hopper design and replaceable wear parts
help reduce wear and extend service life.
