 MMD heavy duty Apron Plate Feeders are often arranged beneath tipping points,
transporting raw material to the crushing plant, where their combination of
reliability and robustness have proven to give many years of trouble free
operation with minimal maintenance.

The mainframe is a fully welded one piece fabrication,

utilising rolled steel beams, ribbed and stiffened.
The frame is designed for optimal strength,
both transversely and longditudinally,
so that supporting steelwork can be
minimised, enabling ease of on

available are 1500, 2000, 3000, and
4000mm on D4, D7, D9, and D11 chains.

All MMD Feeders use two strands of heavy duty

Caterpillar tractor chain. Close toleranced
sealed and lubricated track links are used to
eliminate internal pin and bush wear.

The elimination of the impact energy is of special

importance. In this case, the impact force is ini-
tially absorbed by the conveyor plates, which

tured from especially rolled
sections. The conveyor plates
are bolted to the chains with bolts
that are positioned between the
grousers so that the bolt heads are pro-
tected from damage by the material being
conveyed.

The head shaft assembly

has special discs in line with the
impact rails to provide additional support to the
conveyor plates as they go around the head
shaft.
