Apron Feeders are provided for extraction of material
from hoppers and bins and for applications having high
impact loads. These feeders are used for controlled
volumetric feeding of bulk materials. The apron feeders
have reinforced double beaded overlapping pan design
and heavy-duty frame construction to absorb the high
impact loads and to do positive extraction from hoppers
/ silos. The apron feeders are tailor made for handling
any type of application from feeding run-of-mine quarry
rock with lumps as large as 2000 mm dumped on to the
feeder to light duty applications for extracting crushed
material from small bins.
BHP Apron feeders are made in three
different basic designs such as Heavy duty Frame roller
supported feeders, Out board roller supported feeders
and light duty Chain roller supported feeders. Each
of the three types is available in a wide range of sizes
and custom designed features to meet specific applications.
BHP has supplied heavy-duty apron feeders
for handling 1400 TPH of run-of-mine limestone up to
1500 mm in size for feeding the primary crushers.
Totally enclosed box type feeders
have been provided for various applications where false
air entry in to the conveying system has to be avoided.
Box feeders up to 1000 TPH capacity have been supplied
for limestone applications.
