Feeding consumables

Maximising availability with OEM quality feeder wear part

Whether you’re operating a gold, copper, iron ore, lithium or other minerals processing plant, your feeder is subjected to intense wear. To keep this critical process running, you need wear parts that can take the hit. Our feeder wear parts are tailored to your application to ensure maximum performance and availability.

Key benefits of feeder wear parts

  • OEM quality durability and reliability

    It is no secret – feeders take a beating. From sharp materials to high drop heights, feeders need to be able to handle harsh operating conditions. We take our OEM quality seriously and utilise experience gained over decades in the field to develop the most robust solutions to handle the most difficult applications across the mining flowsheet.

  • Maximise throughput across the flowsheet

    Feeders hold an interesting and critical role in mining. Without efficient handling of material, throughput levels can drop and ultimately limit overall productivity. Our wear parts are designed for not only durability, but to enable a consistent and uniform feed rate by minimising blockages and spillage.

  • Tailored to your needs

    There are a wide range of feeders in the market today – Apron, belt, vibrating pan, wobbler and more! As with all areas, feeders are designed per each customer operation, and we aim to treat them that way. Whether it is an FLS brand feeder, or another supplier, our wear parts can be designed for a seamless and precise fit to maximise performance and availability of feeders in any application.

Customer-centric design

Our approach is customer-focused and technology-driven. We begin with a detailed review of your current situation and challenges to ensure that each wear part is optimised to the unique requirements of your specific application. This bespoke approach, coupled with a customised material selection aligned with the existing production conditions, is the cornerstone of our commitment to maximising service life, minimising downtime, and ultimately increasing operational efficiency.

Longer wear life, longer shutdown intervals, less parts required

Choosing longer-lasting, better performing mining consumables not only supports your ambition to optimise overall feeding efficiency, but also creates a positive result for the environment. When wear parts last longer, there is less waste. The consumption of new materials is reduced, together with the environmental burden of their manufacture.

Frequently asked questions

FAQs for feeder wear parts

Without optimal feeder pans, you may face increased wear and tear, leading to higher maintenance costs and frequent replacements. Additionally, material blockages and safety hazards can arise, disrupting operations and creating a more hazardous work environment. We would suggest an audit to make sure you are not leaving potential on the table!

If your feeder is not running at maximum potential, you might notice inconsistent feed rates, frequent blockages, and excessive wear and tear on parts. This would be an area to evaluate with your supplier, and we are happy to perform an onsite audit.

Yes, we offer all parts that are required to maximise the availability and performance of your feeding equipment.

A feeder in mining regulates the flow of materials from storage to a conveyor, crusher, or other processing equipment. The main components include a hopper or bin, feed tray or pan, drive mechanism and control system, discharge chute, scrapers or cleaners, wear liners and feed gates. Vibrating feeders have a vibration mechanism. Apron or belt feeders have an apron or belt. The main components of a mining feeder work together to control the flow, speed, and quantity of material fed into downstream processing equipment, ensuring consistent operation and optimal performance in the mining process.
