Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose an apron feeder over a belt feeder?

With Phosphate mining (Eshidiya, 9M tonnes/year) driving equipment demand in Jordan, choose a VTech Makkers apron feeder when handling ROM rock with sharp edges, receiving direct excavator or dump truck loading, processing abrasive or wet material, or feeding lump sizes above 500 mm. The Mn13 manganese steel pans handle impact and abrasion that would shred a rubber belt in weeks. Apron pan life is 8,000-12,000 hours on limestone compared to 2,000-4,000 hours for a belt feeder in the same service. Choose a belt feeder instead when handling pre-screened material, dry fines, or when capital budget is the primary constraint — belt feeders cost 40-60% less than apron feeders of the same capacity. For open-pit mining and large quarries where excavators dump directly onto the feeder, apron feeders are the industry standard worldwide because no other feeder type survives the repeated impact of 5-10 tonne bucket loads.

What is the maintenance schedule for a VTech Makkers apron feeder?

Jordan's phosphate and limestone deposits require equipment that vTech Makkers apron feeders follow a simple, predictable maintenance schedule. Weekly: check chain tension and adjust if sag exceeds 25 mm at midspan (15 minutes with a wrench). Monthly: torque-check pan mounting bolts (Mn13 pans expand slightly during impact, bolts can loosen). Quarterly: inspect chain pins and bushings for wear — replace individual links if pin diameter is reduced by 15%. The Mn13 manganese steel pans are the longest-lived component: 8,000-12,000 operating hours on limestone, 4,000-6,000 on granite, 3,000-4,000 on iron ore. Pan replacement is done one at a time without disassembling the chain — unbolt the worn pan, bolt on a new one. VTech Makkers stocks replacement pans, chain links, and drive sprockets for all three VTAF models with 48-hour dispatch from Gujarat.

What feed sizes can a VTech Makkers apron feeder handle?

For Jordan's phosphate mining operations, vTech Makkers apron feeders accept ROM rock up to 1,000 mm lump size — the largest feed capacity of any feeder in the VTech Makkers product range. Pan widths are 900 mm (VTAF1), 1200 mm (VTAF2), and 1500 mm (VTAF3). Variable speed drive via VFD (variable frequency drive) controls chain speed from 0.5 to 6 m/min, allowing precise feed rate regulation to match the downstream jaw crusher capacity. For mining applications, the typical setup is: excavator dumps into a ROM hopper with a rock breaker, the apron feeder meters material out of the hopper at a controlled rate, and a grizzly screen section on the feeder pre-separates fines before the jaw. This configuration maximizes crusher throughput and protects the jaw from surges that cause bridging.

Can I import Apron Feeder from India to Jordan?
