Brief introduction

Typically, mobile rock crushers feature 3 types of feeders – a belt feeder, an pan feeder, or a vibrating hopper. A belt feeder is commonly used on mini crushers for light. A pan feeder with a static hopper walls is typically being used with a wide range of mobile and portable rock crushing plants.

A belt feeder features static hopper walls and a conveyor belt that conveys the material into the crusher. This type feeder is ideal for light-duty applications such as sand & gravel, asphalt, bricks, and fairly clean concrete. Sharp shot rock or heavy rebar could puncture or damage the conveyor belt. The beauty of the belt feeder is that you can easily reverese the direction in case of a blockage at the crusher inlet.

Small rock crushers with a belt feeder can be easily fed with a skid-steer or mini excavator becauser of the low feed height of this feeder.

Belt feeders are commonly used by mini jaw crushers, most mobile cone crushers,  the Leites 60 compact crusher, and the Leites V550GO! mobile impact crusher.
