RULA Bulk Materials Handling’s Slat Apron Feeders are robust conveying systems used for extracting, conveying, and feeding heavy bulk materials under severe conditions. Featuring overlapping steel slats mounted to heavy-duty chains, they provide superior impact resistance and wear life compared to conventional belt feeders. These feeders are particularly suited for applications involving sharp, coarse, and hot materials such as coal, iron ore, limestone, clinker, and other aggregates. Their rugged construction ensures dependable performance in mining, power generation, cement, and heavy industrial environments.
