Crushers and screens depend on the material arriving at their inlets. Feeding and conveying equipment connects these machines, manages transfer heights and carries finished products to their stockpiles.
01
Match the receiving point to the feed
The loading method, largest lumps and intended feed rate shape the hopper and feeder discussion. Rock feeders and grizzly feeders form part of the Alborz plant-equipment range.
- Identify whether trucks, loaders or another conveyor supply the hopper.
- Describe uneven feed, moisture and any fines in the raw material.
02
Plan the conveyor route
Belt width, length, incline and discharge height are reviewed with the material and layout. Mark every transfer point, including the return route for material that needs further crushing.
- Provide distances and elevations between machines.
- Show the positions of product stockpiles and access routes.
03
Leave access where it is needed
Transfer points and conveyor components need inspection and maintenance space. Consider how personnel will reach the drive, rollers and belt, and how replacement components will be moved into place.
- Include guarding, access platforms and cleaning arrangements in the review.
- Allow for maintenance without blocking the main vehicle route.
Common questions
Can conveyor dimensions be selected from capacity alone?
No. Material size, properties, incline and route are also important. Share the duty and site layout so the belt and conveyor arrangement can be reviewed together.
What does a grizzly feeder do?
It introduces material to the next machine while its bar section allows smaller material to pass through. The required separation and the destination of that material must be defined for the line.
What should I send for a conveyor inquiry?
A marked site sketch is a useful start. Include the material, target rate, distance, height difference, loading point and discharge point, even if the final dimensions are still being developed.
