Metso Outotec : innovative hybrid crossover feeder
Metso Outotec is launching the Crossover feeder, which is a hybrid feeding solution suitable for a wide range of greenfield and brownfield applications. Thanks to its innovative modular belt-over-apron design, the feeder delivers unmatched levels of availability and reliability for bulk material transportation at lower overall costs.
The Crossover feeder design features a reduced height of up to 50% as compared to conventional feeding technology. This lower height requirement provides an opportunity for CAPEX savings by decreasing the excavation and civil works required. For retrofit applications, the reduced height profile allows the Crossover feeder to economically replace existing feeders, including apron and/or belt feeders by lowering modification costs.
The Crossover feeder complements Metso Outotec’s versatile feeding solutions portfolio, which also includes Apron feeders and Belt feeders. All feeding solutions feature optimal design and dependable components to handle any duty in mining. Support through the comprehensive services network enables easy maintainability and minimal downtime.
The Metso Outotec Apron feeders are suitable for both light and heavy-duty applications and consist of a pre-engineered range that makes sizing and selection simple. They are best suited for feed to a primary gyratory or jaw crusher, primary gyratory discharge, secondary and tertiary stockpile reclaims, and railcar dumper discharge. The customizable Metso Outotec Belt feeders provide a reliable solution for material transport especially in large, high-capacity installations. The optimal applications range from light- to medium-duty for tertiary, reclaim and concentrate, and filter cake discharge, as well as railcar dumpers in lighter duty.
