LOW PROFILE FEEDER

Reversible Feeding

Transmin’s Low Profile FeederTM TYPICAL INDUSTRIES  Lengths up to 56m

(LPF) is the original hybrid feeder  Mining and mineral processing
delivering the advantages of  Incline angles up to 25°
both belt and apron feeders,  Ports
plus additional benefits over  Cement and building products  Belt widths up to 4.0m
conventional feeder technology that  Recycling and waste processing  Weighing of material in
are unique to Transmin.  Power generation transit
LPF capacities vary according to  Fertiliser and chemical
application, although rates of 10,000tph  One sided belt fastening
are possible. The LPF is built with trusted MATERIALS
 Reversing capability for
components, proven in the most arduous  Various ores
applications and with a low ongoing cost
discharge at both ends
 Iron ore, tailings and stockpiled ores
of ownership.  Numerous installations
 Coal
The LPF has the unique ability to  Fertilisers around the world
incorporate a bend transition, which  Metallic concentrates
means a change of direction from
 Filter cakes
horizontal to 25° inclined can be achieved
without the requirement of a second  Wood chips
machine; resulting in improved space  Cement clinker
utilisation, flexibility of plant layout and
elimination of transfer points between

and it’s never missed
a beat. This thing is
bullet proof.”
