Something about Apron feeder

Nov 18, 2025

Apron feeder is a type of heavy-duty mechanical feeding equipment used for material handling. It’s core function is to transport large, highly abrasive materials at a controlled rate.It offers the advantages of wear resistance, impact resistance, and stable, controllable operation.It is commonly used in the construction, mining, and coal industries.

Components:

1.Frame: Constructed from manganese steel or formed steel, capable of withstanding large and heavy aggregates.

2.Head Shaft: The head shaft assembly consists of chain drive sprockets bolted to a hub mounted to a head shaft. This assembly rotates to move the chain forward.

3.Tail Sprocket: The tail idler takeup assembly returns the chain and flights to the working surface of the feeder.

4.Chain: The chain wraps around the head shaft and tail idler and rides on carry rollers to provide movement.

5.Pan: Cast manganese steel flights or formed steel flights provide a corrugated surface to grip the material being conveyed.

6.Supported Roller: Provide load carrying to the working side of the feeder.

7.Return Roller: Support the chain/flight assembly on the return side.

8.Drive Sprocket: Drive sprockets intermesh the chain, moving it and the flights.

Highlight&Advantages:

1.Low Maintenance&Long Service Life: Key components (chains, pans) utilize wear-resistant materials like high manganese steel. The fully riveted structure resists vibration and prevents cracking, delivering over 1.5 times the overall service life of standard feeders and reducing maintenance frequency by 40%.

2.Broad Application Scope: Suitable for handling raw ore in open-pit mining, as well as transporting aggregates and furnace charges in building material and metallurgical plants. Effectively handles both dry and wet materials without requiring modifications.

3.Processing Capacity: capable range of handling 200-1500 tons of aggregate per hour.

Different models correspond to different production capacities.

4.Feed Size Flexibility:Feed size range is from 500mm to 1500mm depending on the model.If the feed size larger, and the model will also be correspondingly larger.

5.Stable Operation&Impact Resistance: The rigid chain drive and reinforced frame withstand direct impact from large materials, eliminating issues like misalignment or slippage. Enables continuous 72-hour operation, ensuring uninterrupted production line flow.

6.Adjustable Feed Rate: With a conveyor speed range of 0.05-0.40 m/s, it provides precise, uniform feed to subsequent crushers and screens, preventing equipment overload.

7.Easy of Maintenance: Designed for straightforward servicing with low associated costs.
