Have You Ever Heard of Apron Feeder Up to Now?

• Along with the increasing popular of mining project, more and more people invested in producing stone crusher machine for mining process. And with the development of mining machinery industry, there are many kinds of mining machines in the market, such as china jaw crusher, sand making machinery, impactor breaker and so on. But have you ever heard of apron feeder? If you have not ever heard of it, today our expert of HXJQ will talk something about it. I think you can read this article with your a little time.

  An apron feeder is a large machine that carries materials through the parts of a manufacturing or industrial process. These machines resemble short conveyor belts, and may also be known as plate feeders or apron conveyors. Apron feeder machines allow engineers and process managers to automatically control the volume of materials that are added to a process, and regulate the rate at which these materials are added. Materials that will be carried by the apron feeder are held in a large hopper above one end of the belt. The amount of material that reaches the feeder is determined by the distance between this hopper and the top of the feeder. If the two are placed close together, only a small volume of materials can reach the belt at any given time. When the hopper is placed farther away, materials pour onto the belt more quickly to speed up the feeding process.

  Apron feeder machines can be found in mining operations, factories, and concrete plants. In mining, the apron feeder carries rocks and minerals for crushing or further processing. At a factory, these machines may be used to add ingredients to a food or other mixture. Because of their heavy-duty design, apron conveyors are also a popular choice for transporting concrete and stone for crushing, recycling, or mixing. Manufacturers construct apron feeders from heavy, durable materials like steel. The machine must be capable of supporting large, bulky materials like rocks, which may have jagged edges. To withstand the heavy weight of these types of materials, the belt portion of the apron feeder is made from thick steel trays or pans. Chains along either end of the feeder help move the trays along the conveyor area, and are powered by an industrial motor or engine.
