Unparalleled performance in feeding challenging materials

In quarries, stone veins are frequently encountered, where feeding is problematic during the rainy winter months. Apron feeders are the ideal solution for these types of materials. While their investment costs are higher than those of other feeders, their ability to be used in all conditions makes them a preferred choice. For these excellent, wet, and sticky materials, an MWF-type wobbler feeder or grizzly scalper feeder is installed after the pallet feeder, separating unwanted material before the crusher and feeding clean material to the subsequent crusher.

MEKA Apron Feeders are designed for these challenging material handling operations in mining, ore, coal, and aggregate production. With a heavy-duty chassis, drive unit, pallet, and chain system to ensure an extremely long service life, they exceed your expectations.

Applications

In open-pitand underground mining, above-ground and below-ground material transportation

In operations such as truck and ship loading/unloading, as a mobile, compact, and stationary system component

Hopper unloading, primary or secondary crushing stage (feeding of the crusher or screen)

Increased plant efficiency with regular feeding

Apron Feeder Information Form

What is Apron Feeder?

Consisting of articulated metal plates (steel or cast metal), the apron feeder works in principle like a conveyor belt. The aprons are supported by rollers and rotates slowly between the drive pinion and the tail pinion.

Types of Apron Feeder
Apron feeders are the type of feeders that perform only feeding function and specifically designed for handling heavy, abrasive, or lumpy materials in various industries.
How Does Apron Feeder Work?
The chain is rotated by gears/sprockets at the front . The chain rotates the metal plates, called aprons, which are bolted to it and as the aprons move, the material is carried along the length of the feeder.
Advantages of Using Apron Feeder

Apron feeder's heavy-duty construction and durable components ensure minimal maintenance and parts requirements.


Apron feeders can be customized to meet a wide range of applications. They provide better feed control to feed material to downstream equipment.

Apron Feeder Processes Applications

Apron feeders are heavy duty equipment and are widely used in mining applications such as rock quarries, gold ore, iron ore, coal and other bulk material handling industries.


Apron feeders are indispensable if the material to be fed is moist, sticky or contains clay.

MEKA Apron Feeder Options
Dribble Conveyor
As an optional extra, the MEKA Apron Feeders can incorporate a Dribble Conveyor which is located under the feeder to catch the small pieces,fines and lumps of material that became trapped on the feed side of the apron pans and dribble out on the return side. This feature eliminates manual clean up and saves on man hours
Automatic Lubrication System
An automatic lubrication system can be used to automatically lubricate bearings at regular intervals and minimize human-induced errors. Regular and accurate lubrication reduces the risk of malfunction and shortens maintenance time.
Electrical Panel Options
MEKA Apron Feeders can be equipped with an economical and low-maintenance direct-start panel that connects the motor directly to the mains, or a VFD panel that controls the motor speed with a frequency drive, providing soft start and stop, flexible operation, and energy savings.
Custom sizes and configurations available
We have the capability to design and manufacture pallet feeders in various sizes and specifications to meet your specific operations' needs.
