MMD Plate Feeder Fines Retrieval System
Fine particles may be expected to form beneath Apron Plate Feeders depending on the material. MMD Apron Plate Feeders are available with an in-built fines retrieval system.
The fines retreival system works by the employment of cleaning scrapers welded to selected conveyor plates that collect fine material from the bottom of the feeder and bring it to the top of the feeder to be deposited with the rest of the material, eliminating the need for a separate fines conveyor.
Because the fines retrieval system is set within the width and length of a standard feeder, it can often be retro fitted to the feeder if required.
Where the fines retrieval system is not employed, the return strand of the feeder is carried back on rollers mounted along the inside of each of the main frame beams.
