Predominantly used in high volume surface applications the MMD D9 Apron Plate Feeder has been designed to accept exceptionally high impact forces in the loading area to allow large run-of-mine material to be directly dumped on to the plates whilst the unit is still running. Although it is one of the largest and heaviest feeders we manufacture, the D9 feeder has been utilised in high capacity mobile applications where capacities of over 10,000TPH of ROM material has been achieved.
