FEATURES

  • Low noise
  • Long service life
  • Low maintenance costs

BENEFITS

Apron Conveyors are durable and capable of handling tougher jobs with less wear and tear. Because the chains that move the conveyor are kept safe under the metal plates, the machine can endure long periods without maintenance. This leads to longer run times, reduced maintenance costs, and greater productivity.

If an apron conveyor does break, they are easier than others to perform maintenance on. For example, if one of the plates cracks, it can simply be replaced rather than replacing the whole conveyor. 

Apron conveyors offer a steady, reliable feed rate. They are perfect for operations where an accurate feed rate is necessary.

FAQ

What is an Apron Conveyor?

Apron conveyors are a type of conveyor used to move larger or heavier materials such as ore. These heavy-duty conveyors are linked using metal plates, typically made from steel and connected by chains. These plates overlap with one another to create a “belt” that moves materials from one location to another. They can move material at an incline or horizontally. 

Apron conveyors can be used in a wide variety of industries. They are often used in foundry and mining applications due to their strength, heat resistance, and durability. They are also used by recycling facilities to move scrap of all sorts. Finally, these conveyors can move loose materials such as sand or grains.

Apron Conveyors or Belt Conveyors?

Both types of conveyors are designed to move materials in bulk. However, they have different applications due to their respective builds. Depending on what kind of jobs you’re working on, one will be more valuable than the other.

Apron conveyors are best for:

  • Heavy materials
  • Loose materials (gravel, sand)
  • Hot materials that would melt rubber (hot castings)
  • Moving items upwards
  • Wet materials

Belt conveyors are best for:

  • Items within containers
  • Items that need to be moved quickly or over longer distances
  • Inspecting products
  • Assembly lines
  • Handling food
  • Faster movement of materials
