Apron Feeder
Apron Feeders provide reliable means of controlling the feed rate to prevent surge loads to the Primary Crusher or other plant equipment. An Apron Feeder is run at very low speed and at a controlled feed rate as it absorbs the impact loads of the material falling from a dump truck or a front-end loader. Apron Feeders are of rugged, heavy duty construction and designed to handle large feed sizes.
Applications
Apron Feeders are designed to handle large lumps and where no fines removal is required or where fines are removed by a separate Scalper. When the feed material is wet, sticky or clay like, the Apron Feeder is the machine to select. Generally, the Apron Feeder can be installed in a horizontal or inclined position. The high inclination also allows to build compact installations and to reduce the length of the Apron Feeder keeping the investment costs low.

What is Apron Feeder?
Consisting of articulated metal plates (steel or cast metal), the apron feeder works in principle like a conveyor belt. The aprons are supported by rollers and rotates slowly between the drive pinion and the tail pinion.

How Does Apron Feeder Work?
Advantages of Using Apron Feeder
Apron Feeder Processes Applications
The chain is rotated by gears/sprockets at the front . The chain rotates the metal plates, called aprons, which are bolted to it and as the aprons move, the material is carried along the length of the feeder.
Apron feeder's heavy-duty construction and durable components ensure minimal maintenance and parts requirements.
Apron feeders can be customized to meet a wide range of applications. They provide better feed control to feed material to downstream equipment.
Apron feeders are heavy duty equipment and are widely used in mining applications such as rock quarries, gold ore, iron ore, coal and other bulk material handling industries.
Apron feeders are indispensable if the material to be fed is moist, sticky or contains clay.
