Overview
Osborn apron feeders accurately control the feed rate to prevent surge loads to the primary crusher or other processing equipment.
Apron feeders feature a rugged, heavy-duty construction and are designed to handle feed sizes of up to 60” (1,500 mm) where no fines removal is required or where fines are removed by a separate vibrating grizzly. The apron feeder is built to withstand wet, sticky or clay-like material and handle it with ease. These apron feeders can be installed in a horizontal position or inclined up to 15-degrees.
