The apron feeder enables the continuous transport of heavy and coarse materials. It consists of a robust, continuously driven chain onto which sturdy plates are bolted. The plate conveyor is particularly suitable for use in demanding environments where conventional conveyor technologies reach their limits. It is available in various lengths and widths and can transport even extremely hard, hot, and abrasive materials with high transport capacity. Its robust construction ensures a long service life, while its high degree of flexibility allows it to be optimally adapted to different operating conditions. The apron feeder is mainly used for granite, basalt, quartz, and various ores and recycled materials.
