Heavy-duty modular solutions
The Buffalo brand started in 1975 and became part of the FLSmidth group in 1999, strengthening our position as a market-leading manufacturer and supplier of feeders, feeder breakers, and sizers. FLSmidth Buffalo equipment is manufactured globally, so that we can offer our customers the most competitive products worldwide.
What we offer
FLSmidth Buffalo reclaim feeder
Stock yards and ROM applications
Reclaim feeders and feeder breakers are utilised to reclaim stockpiles and ROM material at a continuous feed rate. Trucks, front-end loaders, or dozers supply feeders with material, which then deliver the material in a consistent manner to a conveyor belt, sizer, or other process equipment. Our reclaim feeders are an ideal backup system for stacker and reclaimer systems, and they can be implemented for side tipping or back tipping applications to reduce double handling of material.
Modular design
The reclaim feeder’s modular design allows for different discharge heights, depending on the required application. We offer loading decks of various lengths to ensure our installations fit our customers’ unique requirements. Modularity also allows for transportation within a standard size container.
Key Benefits
Designed to meet your unique requirements
The Buffalo reclaim feeder is a heavy-duty design, featuring replaceable supports and modular sections. Our reclaim feeders have replaceable individual parts throughout the full length of the feeder.

- Increased mobility and improved reliability
-
Electromechanical and hydraulic drives power our reclaim feeders. Flow control is achieved through adjustable hydraulics, variable speed drives, and gearbox ratios. A hydraulic take-up system ensures ideal and consistent chain tensioning on the shaft take-up assembly.
Mobility
All Buffalo reclaim feeders are semi-mobile, meaning the customer can relocate the feeder if required. The transformer and motor control center (MCC) are located onboard the reclaim feeder; only the power supply needs to be isolated before relocating the unit.
Installation options
Our reclaim feeders and feeder breakers may be installed as either a free-standing unit with or without civils, or as a multiunit construction with hoppers or sizers. Our reclaim feeders may also also be pre-assembled in the workshop or containerized and transported to the construction site.
