Feeding

AF Apron Feeder

FLSmidth has supplied feeders for more than 65 years and continues to modernise their design to meet the demands of the industry. AF Apron Feeders come in different sizes, dimensioned to feed even the largest FLSmidth crushers

  • The basics

Key benefits

  • Heavy duty roller supports throughout the full length of the feeder and a double set of rollers in the impact area
  • All rollers fully automatically lubricated
  • Hydraulic take-up system ensures perfect and consistent tensioning of the chain
  • Two apron feeders can be combined to form a raw material blending system
  • Robust construction
  • Effective take-up system
  • Delivery tailored to site conditions

 

How it works

The raw materials from the quarry are dumped directly into a reinforced feed hopper and extracted by the AF apron feeder. The AF apron feeder ensures a steady flow of material to the next stage of the process, typically a crushing plant.

Impact and supporting rollers are fitted the aprons.

Blending and crushing in one installation
By positioning two apron feeders perpendicular to each other it is possible to feed the same crusher with two different materials at the same time, combining comminution and blending in one installation.

Operation & Maintenance

The feeders' rugged and reliable construction makes them easy to operate and maintain and only a minimum of operator attention is required.

The feeders are designed for uninterrupted service, year after year, and only need stopping for the occasional replacement of wear parts.

Worn aprons and chains can be accessed from the take-up end of the feeder for easy replacement.

The sprocket wheels have bolted-on tooth segments which can be interchanged or replaced.

The impact rollers are lubricated by a central lubrication unit, while the chain rollers have to be lubricated manually with a grease gun.
