Apron feeders

The apron feeders have been designed for all kinds of applications. They can be used with dry, wet, or sticky materials and operate in polluted or corrosive environments. Apron feeders should be rugged and designed to handle the impact and lump size of the raw feed from the quarry. Many manufacturers use cast manganese pans attached to crawler tractor chain with sealed rollers. Impact rails are also necessary to ensure the lump size does not destroy the feeder pans. The modern apron feeder with tractor chain is known to provide very long life and is trouble-free. The apron feeder can be speed controlled to match the primary crusher capacity. Apron feeders are often followed by a heavy-duty scalping screen to separate products or to remove deleterious materials. The scalping screen allows material that is already sized for the final products to bypass the primary crusher.

Formats feeders are available in a wide variety of sizes and meet material handling needs in feeding and controlled-quantity applications in mining, quarrying, and basic industrial operations. Our products are based on the many years of solid experience Formats has in designing and manufacturing minerals processing equipment. The company can therefore ensure the right choice of feeder model and size for optimal performance while investment and maintenance costs are kept to a minimum.
