Apron Feeder
Heavy-Duty Feeding for Challenging Industrial Materials
An Apron Feeder is a heavy-duty material handling machine designed to move bulky, abrasive, or moisture-rich materials that standard conveyors cannot manage. Whether dry, wet, sticky, frozen, or extremely heavy, apron feeders ensure a smooth and controlled flow.
Commonly used for handling coal, limestone, ore, sand, sugarcane, and similar bulk solids, apron feeders are installed directly under hoppers or storage bins and ensure steady extraction without clogging, surging, or breakdown.
Built with pans (flights), rollers, chains, head & tail shafts, and a high-torque drive motor, apron feeders are engineered for high-impact and heavy-duty industrial performance.
