Apron feeder HAB

for abrasive productsfor bulk materialscontinuous

Overview
The HAB Feeder is a Hybrid Apron Belt feeder that combines apron-pan strength with conveyor-belt spillage control. Engineered for power-efficient, high-tonnage feeding of abrasive and sticky materials in ROM and stockpile operations, it delivers modular installation with adjustable feed rates and minimal site preparation.

Key benefits

• Designed for heavy impact loading and continuous operation
• Plug-and-play layout with onboard ancillary equipment for simplified operation and maintenance
• Compact, modular design enabling semi-mobility and straightforward relocation
• Consistent, optimised feed to downstream processes to reduce surging and equipment wear

Main features

• Belt-over-apron hybrid construction: conveyor belting bolted to apron pans
• Chain with double-mounting flanges for effective load distribution
• Dual carry rollers per chain link for low rolling resistance and effective support of the flight-bar system
• Reinforced loading deck with bumper flight support bar to absorb loading forces
• Heavy-duty apron flights built to withstand impact loading over long operating periods
• Low-profile horizontal loading deck allowing direct and side truck tipping, loader discharge and dozing
• Access hatches for easy maintenance of deck, chains, belts and flight bars
• Automatic lubrication system for consistent bearing lubrication
• Integrated spillage protection (eliminates need for additional dribble belts)
• Optional onboard ancillary equipment: transformer and motor control centre

Design & installation

• Fully modular — can be bolted to a flat concrete slab or compacted stockyard foundation
• Semi-mobile configuration with optional wheels or skids for relocation
• All ancillary equipment can be installed onboard for simplified commissioning

Operation & maintenance

• Plug-and-play operation requiring only a power source
• Automatic lubrication and onboard power sockets to assist maintenance tasks
• Access hatches and low-profile deck reduce maintenance time and complexity

Applications

• Run-of-mine (ROM) feeding
• Stockpile management and reclaim feeding
• Feeding abrasive and sticky materials such as iron ore, mineral sands and bauxite
• Primary and secondary feeding in material handling facilities
