Plate feeders are generally divided into three types: heavy, medium and light. They are commonly used feeding equipment in concentrators.
The light plate feeder is a continuous feeding machine, suitable for short-distance conveying of bulk materials with a feeding size of 160mm or less. In the mining, processing plant, chemical industry, cement, building materials and other departments, it is widely used for uniform and continuous feeding from storage silos to crushing, transportation and other machinery. It can be installed horizontally or obliquely, and its maximum upward inclination angle is 20 degrees. Generally, it is suitable for materials with bulk density less than 1200kg/m3, block weight less than 140kg, and temperature below 350℃.
The medium-sized plate feeder is an intermittent feeding machine, suitable for short-distance conveying of bulk materials with a feeding size of 400mm or less. In the mining, processing plant, chemical industry, cement, building materials and other departments, it is widely used for uniform intermittent feeding from storage silos to crushing, transportation and other machinery. It can be installed horizontally or obliquely, and its maximum upward inclination angle is 20 degrees. Generally, it is suitable for materials with bulk density less than 12400kg/m3, block weight less than 500kg, and temperature below 400℃.
The heavy-duty apron feeder is an auxiliary equipment for transportation machinery. The machine is used as a silo to feed the primary crusher continuously and uniformly in the crushing and grading workshop of large-scale concentrators, cement, building materials and other departments. It can also be used for short-distance transportation of particle size. And materials with a larger specific gravity. It can be installed horizontally or obliquely, with a maximum inclination angle of 12 degrees. In order to prevent the material from directly hitting the feeder, it is required that the silo does not appear empty.
Various types of apron feeders are divided into right-type transmission and left-type transmission according to the transmission mode. In the direction of material movement, the transmission system on the right side of the machine is right-type transmission, and vice versa is left-type transmission.
