Apron Weigh Feeder
Apron feeder begins with a variable frequency motor or hydraulic motor, which powers the system through a coupling and a gear reducer, causing the sprocket shaft to rotate. This rotation engages the chain pins with the sprocket teeth, driving the heavy-duty chain plates in a continuous linear motion along the feeder track. The chain plates, supported by load rollers and supporting rollers mounted on the frame, create a stable, guided path that ensures precise and consistent material transport.

Apron Weigh Feeder
1. Product Introduction
The Apron Weigh Feeder is a heavy-duty continuous feeding and weighing system designed for industries that handle bulk, abrasive, high-temperature, or difficult-to-feed materials. It combines the conveying strength of an apron feeder with an accurate weighing system to provide stable material feeding and real-time flow measurement.
In mining, cement, metallurgy, power plants, chemical plants, and bulk material handling systems, conventional feeders often face problems such as unstable feeding rates, material surges, inaccurate dosing, excessive wear, and difficult maintenance.
Our Apron Weigh Feeder is designed to solve these problems through a robust mechanical structure, high-strength apron plates, precision weighing components, variable-speed control, and intelligent monitoring.
Common Customer Pain Points
Pain Point 1: Unstable material feeding
Large lumps, irregular particle sizes, and fluctuating material loads can cause unstable discharge from conventional feeding equipment.
Our Solution:
The heavy-duty apron conveying structure provides smooth and continuous material transportation. The variable-speed drive allows the feeding rate to be adjusted according to actual production requirements.
Pain Point 2: Inaccurate material measurement
Traditional apron feeders may only control material flow without accurately measuring the actual feeding quantity.
Our Solution:
The weighing system continuously measures material flow and provides real-time feeding data, helping customers achieve more accurate dosing and production control.
Pain Point 3: Severe equipment wear
Mining ores, limestone, clinker, coal, and other bulk materials can cause significant impact and abrasion during continuous operation.
Our Solution:
The equipment uses a reinforced frame, heavy-duty apron plates, high-strength components, and wear-resistant parts to improve service life under demanding operating conditions.
Pain Point 4: Difficult process automation
Manual feeding adjustment can increase labor requirements and make production control less stable.
Our Solution:
The Apron Weigh Feeder can be integrated with PLC, DCS, and other plant control systems for automatic flow control, remote monitoring, alarm management, and production data collection.
2. Technical Specifications
The technical configuration can be customized according to material characteristics, required capacity, installation conditions, and process requirements.
Application Mining, cement, metallurgy, power, chemical and bulk material handling
For special projects, the feeder can be engineered according to the required capacity, material density, particle size, moisture content, temperature, installation angle, feeding distance, and process layout.
3. Why Choose Our Apron Weigh Feeder?
Choosing the right Apron Weigh Feeder is not only about purchasing a conveying machine. Customers need stable feeding, reliable weighing, long service life, convenient maintenance, and compatibility with their existing production system.

FAQ – Quick Answers to Common Questions
Q1: Can it handle high-temperature materials?
A: Standard model up to 80°C.
Q2: What if my material is slightly sticky or moist?
A: Our variable-pitch airlock handles up to 20% moisture for most powders. For sticky materials, we recommend an optional internal coating or polishing treatment.
Q3: How is calibration performed on-site?
A: You can perform online material calibration (preferred), or use span check with a known weight. Remote calibration is also supported without an on-site visit.
Q4: Do you provide installation and commissioning?
A: Yes. We offer supervision service — our engineer will guide your team through installation, startup, and performance testing .
Q5: What if I need a custom capacity or flange size?
A: We provide custom engineering for rotor diameter, inlet/outlet connections, and motor options — just specify your requirements in the inquiry.
