Apron feeder is a chain transmission as traction conveyor machinery, which is widely used in mining, metallurgy, building materials, coal and environmental protection and other fields, undertake a variety of material transfer transportation work, to achieve short distance continuous uniform feeding, its characteristics are large feeding capacity, bearing torque, and can work under the big warehouse pressure. Apron feeder is driven by the motor reducer, driven by the sprocket shaft conveying trough plate, conveying trough plate bearing materials, and finally achieve the purpose of conveying materials. Apron feeder can adapt to a variety of environments, and can work reliably in harsh environments such as open air, wet and dusty. However, years of on-site actual use shows that a certain amount of material and dust will be leaked at the bottom of the equipment in harsh environments, which is not easy to clean up under conventional conditions, resulting in a certain amount of output loss. It will hinder the good operation of the equipment, so it is more urgent to deal with the problem of material leakage and dust leakage in this case. Usually, the way to deal with leakage is to raise the bottom base of apron feeder, which can be manually cleaned when the equipment stops, which can save costs, but the workload of workers is large and the efficiency is low, and the equipment needs to stop running when dealing with leakage. With the continuous development of mining, metallurgy, coal and other industries in china, the demand for production automation is increasing, ensuring the continuity of the production process and reasonably reducing the workload of workers, which has become the trend of industry development. Through years of design and production experience, we put forward some practical methods, can avoid manual cleaning, and can deal with the problem of dust leakage: In the case of suitable mining process arrangement, the method of extending the belt conveyor can be used to extend the belt conveyor to the bottom of the equipment, and the material and dust leakage directly through the belt conveyor to the next process, so that the efficiency is higher, without manual cleaning, reducing the workload, this method has higher requirements for the process arrangement, and it is necessary to install the receiving belt conveyor under the feeder. For the occasion of the material humidity and viscosity is relatively large, the material is easy to stick to the groove plate, the groove plate will remain on the top after rotation, the material will fall to the lower part of the feeder during the return operation, it is not easy to clean, then the method of installing the cleaner at the bottom can be used to deal with the problem of leakage. Add a receiving chute under the front part of the feeder frame, and the scraped material slides through the chute to the crusher or belt conveyor. This method is more suitable for the occasion of large material humidity and viscosity.
Through the above introduction, we can solve the problem of dust and material leakage caused by apron feeder in the operation process, and choose the appropriate method according to different use environments.
