Bateman Apron Feeder. Flight overlap minimises spillage and the closely spaced rollers and impact rail ensure a high impact carrying capability.

This robust heavy-duty equipment is designed for demanding materials-handling work in all processing operations and is installed below bulk storage or transfer facilities to move minerals, ores, aggregates and coal. It consists of robust, heavy-duty frames and rugged short-pitch flights.

The feeder decks may have a positive or negative slope and the bulk solids are extracted onto the deck using mass or tunnel flow. Feed hoppers may have closed or open fronts.
