These belt feeders are a result of years of experience manufacturing for clients in varying applications. The basic feeder consists of receiving hopper, which is loaded by a conveyor belt, front end loader, drums, etc.. The hopper has 60 deg. sides and the entire bottom area is open.  Adjustable rubber skirts contact the feeder belt to prevent leakage. Adjustable slide gate adjusts amount fed onto conveyor. The feeder is bolted to the hopper.  The feeder belt slides on a steel plate surface, which ensures live movement of material in hopper with minimum spillage. The head pulley is lagged to minimize slippage. The standard drives have a belt speed range of 0 to 20 inches per minute, which permits a wide, deep opening of the discharge gate to prevent bridging, etc.
