Hypro-Feed - Plate Apron Feeder ( Pan Chain Feeder )
The Hypro-Feed ® Plate Apron Feeder is suitable for a wide variety of applications where the material is too harsh for any other type of feeder and normally installed to draw material at a regulated rate from a stockpile, storage bin or feed hopper. The Hypro-Feed ® Plate Apron Feeder is ideally suited for loose bulk wet, clay, sticky or dry material such as ores, sand, gravel, rock, coal, cullet, foundry and industrial refuse. Apron Feeders are recommended for handling materials containing large, heavy or sharp lumps, for installations where they must withstand the impact of heavy materials falling some distance and for receiving and feeding hot materials that may damage other types of feeders.

The Hypro-Feed ® Plate Apron Feeder provides a positive flow of material with either variable speed drives or control of the material bed depth providing an accurate feed rate. Apron Feeders are well suited for applications that require moving a high tonnage of coarse and wet sticky material with impact loads too severe for other types of feeders.
The Hypro-Feed ® Plate Apron Feeder can be supplied to suit many applications and installation requirements either horizontal or inclined.
