The feeder's robust construction features wear-resistant steel flights and a modular design, combining strength with serviceability to enhance plant efficiency and operational reliability.

With simplified maintenance and quick part replacement capabilities, it minimizes downtime and reduces long-term operating costs, ensuring uninterrupted production even under the toughest conditions.

How Coal Apron Feeder Work?

Coal Apron Feeder consists of drive wheel device, tail wheel tension device,pan- chain device and transmission device.

After the head sprocket is driven, the traction chain in the pan- chain device meshes with the sprocket to drive the entire pans to move along the longitudinal center-line and the roller travels along the track fixed on the frame, thereby completing work.

During the operation of Coal Apron Feeder , the high-strength bulldozer die-forged chain is used as the traction part. On each link of the two rows of chains, the overlapping grooves of the heavy structure are assembled to form a continuous conveying line capable of carrying materials. The material discharged from the tail hopper is transported along the conveying line to the front of the body for continuous and uniform feeding.

Coal Apron Feeder Details

Drive Device

Drive device utilizes an AC variable frequency drive system that integrates software with electronic and mechanical systems to provide precise conveyor speed control and overload protection.
The main components of the drive device can choose Siemens, ABB, Sew, Flender and other well-known domestic and foreign brands of motor and gearbox, to provide stable and continuous kinetic energy output, with high efficiency, low noise, low vibration and other characteristics.

Sprocket

Cast manganese segmental sprockets bolted to heavy steel hubs keyed to oversized front drive shaft.
The segmental sprockets can be replaced in a very short time without needing to dismantle or remove other parts of the feeder.

Pans

The pans bolted to the chain with high strength bolts and nuts, which can be replaced individually in situ without disturbing the rest of the Coal Apron Feeder .
According to different working conditions, Coal Apron Feeder can choose heavy duty cast manganese steel or welded construction with ribbed reinforcements, which is suited for materials with high load and high impact conditions.

Rollers

The rollers are designed as a standard tractor rollers with sealed and lifetime lubricated bearings, mounted on the main feeder frame. The rollers has suitably spaced to provide adequate support for the chain assembly.
The rollers can use world famous brands according to customer needs, such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, and Shantui.

Chains

The chain uses an off the shelf dozers chain (Track chain), which is characterized by small pitch error, smooth movement, high strength, large pulling force, and the chain has a self-lubricating device and a sealing device. The shaft is made of hardened steel, which improves the toughness and impact resistance of the traction chain, has good wear resistance and has a long service life.

Tail Tension Device

The tension device is used to tighten and adjust the horizontal position of the chain to ensure that the chain tightness is moderate and make it run smoothly. When the pans are suddenly impacted by the material, the composite spring can play a buffer role to protect the pans and other components from damage.
