What is an Apron Feeder?

An apron feeder is a mechanical feed conveyor used to extract raw material typically from dump hoppers, bins and stockpiles. Apron feeders are used to extract or feed materials at a short distance with a controlled rate of speed.

Typical applications include primary hopper recovery, stockpile reclaim, crusher feed and reclaim, ship and rail-car loading and unloading stations, ore pass recovery and other installations requiring a controlled feed.

Why Terex Jaques Apron Feeders?

Terex® Jaques Apron Feeders use heavy-duty crawler tractor carrying rollers and chain, a fabricated support frame and high-strength steel head shafts and tail shafts. The lifetime of all parts is long, even under severe conditions, and maintenance requirements are low.

We have over 55 years experience in designing and installing heavy-duty apron feeders. Our engineering application team ensures that each feeder is designed for the required duty, whether it is a relatively low capacity or in excess of 10,000 tph.
