Apron Feeders type BPB, BPB-S, and BPB-SF

Flexible solution for Crusher Feeding, Wagon Unloading, Hopper Discharge or Stockpile Discharge

AUMUND Apron Feeders type BPB, BPB-S and BPB-SF offer a wide range of applications for various feeding, unloading and discharging objectives. These Apron Feeders are particularly well adapted to provide solutions for the conveying of moist and sticky bulk materials, such as clay, gypsum, anhydrite, and pozzolana among others, as the slightly arched plates of the Apron Feeder allow cohesive materials to be scraped off easily. The conveyors are equipped with forged chains and wear-resistant components. The plate, chain and roller design is configured to suit the specific task and the required conveying capacity.
