MEKA Apron Feeders are of rugged, heavy duty construction and designed to handle large lumps and where no fines removal is required or where fines are removed by a separate Scalper.
When the feed material is wet, sticky or clay like, the Apron Feeder is the machine to select. Generally, the Apron Feeder can be installed in a horizontal or inclined position. The high inclination also allows to build compact installations and to reduce the length of the Apron Feeder keeping the investment costs low.
As an optional extra, MEKA Apron Feeders can incorporate a Dribble Conveyor which is located under the feeder to catch the small pieces, fines and lumps of material that became trapped on the feed side of the apron flights and dribble out on the return side. This feature eliminates manual clean up and saves on man hours.
