The Low Profile Feeder^TM

The Hybrid Feeder revolutionising the Bulk Materials Handling market.

The world of Bulk Materials Handling is witnessing a significant transformation with the introduction of the Low Profile Feeder (LPF). As an innovative solution, the LPF stands out as a hybrid feeder, ingeniously integrating the advantages of both apron feeders and traditional belt feeders, while also bringing a host of additional benefits.

Why the Low Profile Feeder Outperforms Traditional Feeders

• Lower Profile: One of the most striking advantages of the LPF is its lower profile compared to conventional apron feeders and belt feeders. This unique feature makes it an ideal choice for applications where space is at a premium.
• No Tracking Issues: Belt feeders are often plagued with tracking problems, but the LPF eliminates these issues, ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted operation. This stability is particularly beneficial in two-way feeder applications.
• Reduced Spillage: When compared to apron feeders, the LPF significantly lowers the risk of spillage. This not only improves the efficiency of material handling but also enhances the cleanliness of the operation area.
• Large Capacity and Width: The LPF can accommodate belt widths of up to 4 meters and handle capacities up to 10,000 tph depending on the bulk density. This capacity is a substantial improvement over traditional feeders, making the LPF suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
• ProEDGE Technology: A unique feature of the LPF is the ProEDGE technology. This pre-supplied hot vulcanized belt edging offers ten times the strength of conventional glue-based edging, significantly enhancing the feeder’s durability and longevity.

Innovative Design for Maximum Efficiency

• Versatile Functionality: The LPF’s design allows it to act as both an extraction feeder and a conveyor within a single unit. This dual functionality is further enhanced by the feeder’s ability to reverse direction and incline, offering unparalleled flexibility in material handling.
• Space-Saving Design: With a height advantage of just 1 meter, the LPF is an excellent choice for retrofit solutions in space-constrained areas. This low height requirement can lead to substantial savings in plant structure.
• Cost-Effective: The installation of an LPF can result in significant cost savings. The lower or shorter steel structure required for the LPF leads to reduced ancillary needs for electrical and instrumentation cables, piping, and a generally smaller plant footprint.

The LPF represents a leap forward in the field of Bulk Materials Handling. Its hybrid design, which cleverly combines the strengths of apron and belt feeders, sets a new standard in the industry. The LPF’s ability to handle large capacities with a minimal footprint makes it a sought-after solution for various industrial applications, reaffirming its position as a revolutionary tool in Bulk Materials Handling.
