Are you struggling to convey heavy, sharp, and highly abrasive materials evenly and continuously in the mining, cement, metallurgy, or aggregates industries?
Choosing reliable feeding equipment is key to ensuring efficient and stable operation of your entire production line.
Our heavy-duty apron feeder is designed with you in mind. Featuring a robust core of high-manganese steel chain and forged sprockets, it's built to withstand the toughest conditions. Whether it's large ore, sharp rocks, or hot sinter, it delivers them smoothly and powerfully to the next process step, effectively preventing material blockage and silo pressure. It's the ideal feeder before primary crushing systems.
How Apron Feeder Work?
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 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.
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 apron feeder.
According to different working conditions, 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.
