Belt feeder

electromechanicalfor hopperpowder

Overview
FLS belt feeders provide controlled feeding and discharge of bulk materials in mineral-processing and heavy industrial operations. Engineered for continuous use in demanding environments, they are supplied in modular configurations to fit plant layouts and process requirements.

Key benefits

• Reliable, continuous feeding — Dimensioned to match plant layout and material characteristics for stable, metered transfer.
• Reduced downtime — Simple mechanical design with long-life bearings, automated greasing, replaceable belts and idlers; optional rail-mounting for easy maintenance access and reduced outage time.
• Low spillage — Effective scraper systems and containment features minimise material loss at transfer points.

Applications & materials

• Designed for mining and mineral-processing applications including crusher feed, storage discharge and interfacing between process units.
• Materials handled: gold, copper, iron ore, bauxite, alumina, zinc, phosphates, limestone, salt, sand and similar bulk minerals.
• Capable of handling processed materials up to coarse particle sizes (see specifications).

Performance & capacity

• Throughput range: approximately 100–7,500 tph (systems tailored to application requirements).
• Typical maximum particle/lump size: approximately 300 mm.
• Applications include controlled feed to crushers, storage discharges and filter press discharge.

Design, drives & maintenance features

• Modular construction for fast onsite installation and simplified assembly.
• Drive options: electromechanical or hydraulic; available in single or dual drive configurations.
• Maintenance-friendly features: long-life bearings, automated greasing, easily replaceable belts and idlers, rail-mount option for mobility, and robust scraper arrangements.
• Low mechanical component count reduces life-cycle costs and improves reliability.

Services

• Inspection, assessment, troubleshooting and optimisation tailored to site needs.
• Operator training to support safe and efficient operations.
• Comprehensive aftersales support: installation, commissioning, maintenance contracts and supervision.
• Global spare parts supply and service network for timely maintenance response.

Built for sustainable performance

• Safety — Modular design and integrated control options support reliable and optionally remote operation.
• Circularity — Material-efficient design, long-life components and easy replacement to extend service life and limit waste.

FAQ highlights

• Can belt feeders convey fine, sticky or wet materials? — Yes, with appropriate model selection and choice of scrapers/wear components.
• Can belt feeders be reversed? — Reversal is possible only in controlled inching mode.
• What is the allowable lump size? — Typical maximum around 300 mm.
• What drives are offered? — Electromechanical and hydraulic drives, in single or dual arrangements.
