The application scope of apron feeder:
Apron feeder is applicable to the materials or articles with sharp edges or strong wearing, with a density of no more than 2400 kg/m3. It is also used for conveying high temperature materials below 400°C.
Apron feeder can be driven left or right. It can transport material horizontally or at an incline within 0≤a≤25°. Users can make the choice according to the actual working condition.
The traction chain of apron feeder has a high strength to withstand long-distance conveying. The maximum conveying length of the apron feeder is up to 18m. The chain plate of the apron feeder has high bending strength and impact resistance. Apron feeder operates smoothly and reliably with low noise. The chute adopts an arc overlap mode to effectively avoid material leaking. The fully enclosed shield facilitates the dust emission; and the brake device can be equipped to prevent the transmission chain from reversing.
