B1000×3000Apron Feeder
1. Applications
This apron feeder could be used as the conveying equipment of various
lump and loose materials from warehouse to crusher, belt conveyor and
other machineries horizontally or at a slant. It has been widely used for
the industries of mining, metallurgy and cement. It is the very important
machine for the treatment of the raw material and the continuous
production line. Especially, it is good for conveying the big lump and
sharp shaped material.
B1000 Apron Feeder is designed as per heavy machinery, when it is
used in cement production, the lump size of limestone or gypsum to be
conveyed must be less than 600mm and bulk density must be less than
2.4×104N/m3.

3. Working principle and structures
3.1 Working principle
The conveying part consists of the directly-connected driving chains and
the conveying trough.
The apron feeder is driven by driving device (motor, gear reducer and
chain gear wheel) on the head device. By the power from the driving
device, the driving chain shall be driven; the conveying trough loaded
with material shall be driven forward. The chains, critical parts of the
machine, not only transfer the driving power, but also make the
conveying parts move on the rail. They bear total weight of the
conveyed material and the conveying parts. The conveying frame that

3
 has enough strength and rigidity shall support total weight coming from
the material and the equipment. The complete load shall be transferred
to the foundation from this conveying frame.
The material shall be fed into the conveying trough from the feeding
hood above the rear part and conveyed forward to the head hood and
discharged from the outlet trough.
The head hood of this machine connects directly with the feed opening
of the crusher, and the discharged materials from the apron feeder hood
chute shall be fed into the crusher for keeping even and stable feeding
for the crusher.
3.2 Main characteristics
a. This apron feeder with big inclination and longer machine length can
meet process arrangement within large ranges.
b. For the chains used in the conveying parts, the applicable pitches can
ensure the stable running. For the main parts of the chains, the
material-selection and heat treatment is strengthened to increase the
fabrication quality and service life.
c. The newly designed frame, with simple structure, good strength and
rigidity, is easy to be manufactured and installed.
d. The head hood directly connects with the crusher, which simply the
process arrangement.
3.3 Structure
This apron feeder consists of driving device, head device, frame,
conveying part and rear tightening device etc..
a. Driving device
For the driving, the magnetic speed-adjustable motor and planetary gear
reducer are used. The driving device has two mounting types, i.e.,
left-mounting and right-mounting, which will be determined as per the
different process arrangement. This apron feeder can work at adjustable
speed. Usually the speed of 0.06~0.10m/s is suitable.
b. Head device
For this apron feeder with big inclination and the longer machine length,
the safety ratchet lock set in the head device can prevent the conveying

4
 part from returning.
c. Conveying part
The conveying part is the core part of this apron feeder. The novel
techniques are used in the design and fabrication.
The main components of the chain are low alloy structure steel after
special heat treatment, which effectively increases the manufacturing
quality and the service life.
The roller is with roll bearing structure which effectively reduces the
conveying resistance and power consumption.
The conveying groove with designed structure of reasonable bottom gap
and side gap effectively avoids the leakage and spillage of the conveyed
material.
d. Frame
The novel structure frame with features of simple structure, good
strength and rigidity can simplify civil engineering and is convenient for
fabrication, mounting and dismounting, transportation and installation.
This machine can also be easily changed into the apron feeder with
spillage conveyor to meet the requirements of process arrangement.
e. Rear tightening device
The rear screw-tightening device is with features of big tightening travel
and compact structure. The rear part set directly in the frame is easy to
be mounted or dismounted.

4. Installation and trail run

The proper installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance are
very important for keeping the machine running well and a long service
life.
4.1 Preparation and inspection before installation
a. Must have the quality report and material analysis report for critical
parts like chains. The reports must be in accordance with the drawing.
b. To check the assembly of chains according to the requirements.
c. To check the state of the rusting and damage of the assembly parts sent
to the site. If any, the installation must be done after repairing, cleaning
and lubricating.

5
d. To check, inspect and measure the position and installation dimension.
If any problem, remove it, then can go on the installation.

4.2 Installation procedures and adjustment

a. Frame
The section-transported frames must be installed after welding. The
welds must be NDE checked. The positioning installation can start only
after the welds don’t affect the strength.

after the complete installation.
b. Rear tightening device
In most cases, you’d better install the rear tightening device first. Adjust
the screw spring tightening to make it at the required position.
c. Rail
The rails must mark the signal of feeding side or returning side of the
apron feeder. Pay more attention to it! If the rails are transported at
several sections, the site welding is required before installation. The
welds must be NDE checked. The positioning installation can start only
after the welds don’t affect the strength.
d. Head device
e. Driving device
f. Conveying part
The installation of conveying part can start only after the adjustment of
driving device and the second pouring and primal coagulation.
