Apron Feeder
Capacity: 10-3000 TPH
Feeding Size: 0-1500 mm
Discharging Size: 0-1500 mm
Handling Materials: Raw ore, waste rock and limestone sinter, etc.
Apron feeder transports coarse materials (ores, rocks) up to 1,500 mm via steel plates, handling 10–3,000 t/h with zero size reduction. Ideal for high-impact crusher feeding, it withstands extreme loads and temperatures. Not suitable for fine powders (<5 mm).
Advantages
01.
Heavy-Duty Capacity
Handles extreme loads (up to 3,000t/h) and oversized materials (≤1,500mm) that would damage belt/vibrating feeders, ideal for primary crusher feeding.
02.
Impact Resistant
Steel pans withstand direct dump truck discharges or 10t+ rock impacts, minimizing downtime in harsh mining environments.
03.
High-Temperature Tolerance
Special alloy pans operate continuously with 600°C hot materials (sinter, clinker), where rubber belts would fail.
04.
Low Spillage
Interlocked plate design prevents fine leakage (<5mm), reducing cleanup costs versus grizzly feeders.
How Does An Apron Feeder Work
1.Material Feeding: Large rocks or materials are fed into the crushing chamber from the top of the machine.
2.Compression: The movable jaw moves towards the fixed jaw, compressing the material between the two plates. This action breaks the material into smaller pieces.
3.Release and Repeat: The movable jaw then moves away from the fixed jaw, allowing the crushed material to fall further down the chamber. This process repeats cyclically until the material is small enough to pass through the discharge opening at the bottom.
4.Discharge: The crushed material exits the crusher through the discharge opening, ready for further processing or use.
