Belt Feeders

Overview

Belt feeders are short, heavy-duty conveyors installed beneath hoppers, bins, and stockpiles to extract and regulate the flow of bulk material onto a main conveyor or processing equipment. ARM Automotion designs belt feeders for accurate, consistent feed rate control in the most demanding applications.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty construction to withstand full hopper head loads
• Variable speed drives for precise feed rate control
• Skirt sealing systems to prevent material leakage
• Impact-resistant belt and idler configurations at the loading zone
• Integrated belt weigher for closed-loop feed rate control
• Low-profile designs for installation under existing hoppers

Applications

Belt feeders are used to control material discharge from ROM bins in mining, raw material silos in cement plants, coal bunkers in power stations, and ship unloader hoppers at port terminals. They provide the controlled, consistent feed rate that downstream processing equipment requires.

Technical Capabilities

• Feed rates from 50 to 1,000+ tonnes per hour
• Belt widths from 600mm to 2400mm
• Feeder lengths from 2m to 20m+
• Designed for static and dynamic hopper loads per international standards
• VFD-controlled drive for smooth speed adjustment
