Apron Feeders are a reliable feeding method for material that is abrasive or heavy. This feeding solution is more robust than a traditional belt feeder. The Apron Feeder can absorb the shock of loading material directly on the feeder with a shallow bed (the impact of the downfall on the feeder when the material is dumped, is great).
Apron feeders are designed to feed material at the desired capacity to downstream equipment. Aprons provide better feed control to prevent material feeding in downstream equipment from choking. Lastly, apron feeders can reclaim a variety of dry or wet materials of various sizes at a uniform rate.
This flexibility can be applied in many applications.
