Apron Feeders

Metso builds apron feeders that are the global standard in quality, durability, and reliability.

• Heavy duty, robust design to handle heavy shock loads
• Deep profile, cast manganese pans with integral sidewalls for bolting directly to track chain and wear pads for high impact loading
• Fabricated/formed steel pans where impact is not a factor
• Crawler tractor-type, pressure lubricated chain with seals used on all models; does not require re-lubrication
• Sealed for life, tractor-type carrying and return rollers, and tail wheel arrangement
• Variable speed mechanical or hydraulic drives
• Drive sprockets are segmented, hardened steel cast alloy allowing change out without removing chain, pans, skirts or material on the feeder
• Impact rails limit pan deflection under high impact conditions
• Parts are readily available

Prevents choking of material feeding crushers and other equipment
Reclaims material at a uniform rate from hoppers, bins and stockpiles

• Controlled feed rate
• Incredibly reliable
• Easily handles large, frozen or cohesive material
• Low maintenance
• Few spare parts
• Nearly 100% maintenance free, sealed for life lubricated components.
  There are only 2 grease lube points at the head shaft bearing.
