Product description

Apron Feeder

Uninterrupted Power in Demanding Conditions

Apron feeders are heavy-duty machines developed for the controlled conveying and feeding of coarse, abrasive and high-density materials in mining and heavy industry plants. KRIOS Engineering offers durable and efficient apron feeder solutions suited to different production capacities and operating conditions.

Technical Specifications

  • Conveying capacity: 100–10,000+ t/h (depending on the application)
  • Pan width: 1,000–3,000 mm
  • Pan material: Abrasion-resistant manganese steel or high-strength steel
  • Chain mechanism: Heavy-duty, high-strength twin- or single-strand chain systems
  • Drive system: Geared motor, hydraulic or variable-speed (VFD) system options
  • Speed range: 0.05–0.5 m/s
  • Operating conditions: Dusty, abrasive and high-temperature environments

Robust Construction and Controlled Feeding

Its reinforced steel construction and abrasion-resistant pan system ensure reliable material flow in demanding industrial environments. The adjustable feed rate allows balanced operation matched to the capacity of the crushing and processing lines.

Efficient and Project-Specific Solutions

The modular design makes maintenance and servicing easier, while the different drive system options can be adapted to the needs of the plant. Pan width, conveying capacity and operating characteristics are determined according to the nature of the material to be processed and the technical requirements of the project.
