Apron Feeder Chain Link

Apron Feeder Chain Link

Apron Feeders are designed and manufactured to handle heavy, lumpy and abrasive materials. Its main function is to prevent surge loads to primary crushers, belt conveyors and other equipment.Apron Feeder consists of drive wheel device, tail wheel tension device,pan- chain device and transmission device. After the head sprocket is driven, the traction chain in the pan- chain device meshes with the sprocket to drive the entire pans to move along the longitudinal center-line and the roller travels along the track fixed on the frame, thereby completing work. The material discharged from the silo/hopper is transported along the conveying line to the front of the body for continuous and uniform feeding.

A tractor chain style apron feeder refers to the undercarriage chain, rollers and tail wheels that are also used in bulldozers and excavators. This style of feeder dominates the market in industries where users require a feeder that can extract materials of varying characteristics. Polyurethane seals in the chain prevent abrasive materials from entering the internal pin and bushing, which reduces wear and extends equipment life in comparison to a dry chain style. Tractor chain style apron feeders also create less noise pollution for quieter operation. The links of the chain are heat treated, which results in an increased service life.

Overall, the benefits include increased reliability, fewer spare parts, less maintenance and better feed control. In return, these benefits lead to more productivity because of minimal bottlenecks within any mineral processing circuit.

The track chain is used in our apron feeder, because the pin and bush are made of heat-treated alloy steel. To withstand greater weight, the chain link is made by drop forging, which can effectively prevent the external sands entering, thus, prolong the chain life.
