Replaceable blades mounted on the carriage with vertically pivoted crank arms plough the material from a long shelf onto a belt conveyor. The blade axis is maintained at a pre-set angle to the working face
for either direction of
movement along the slot.

These tough and reliable feeders reclaim all kinds of stockpiled bulk materials, abrasive, sticky or dry. The material is drawn through a slot onto a conveyor running beneath the stockpile, long storage bin or silo.

Capacities range from less than 50 t/h up to 1 000 t/h for a single feeder. Lump sizes up to 300 mm can be handled.

Advantages

• No rat-holing or piping and easier control of materials which tend to pack or arch

• The reclaim rate is easily set and maintained

• Large lumps can be fed onto the conveyor

• Low headroom requirement

• Simple maintenance.
