Feeder-Breakers transfer the mined material from the haulage equipment to the discharge point, providing storage capacity and minimizing cycle times. McLanahan Feeder-Breakers come in a variety of configurations and designs for use underground and above. They are particularly useful in underground and open pit mining of coal, lignite, salt, gypsum and other friable minerals and in the processing of coke from delayed coker units.
Feeder-Breakers can accept large feed lumps of friable minerals and produce a 6” to 12" (150mm to 300mm) one-dimensional product at rates up to 6000 tph (5400 mtph). Depending on the feed arrangement, these units can be designed to hold up to two to three times the load from a haulage vehicle, providing substantial storage capacity to allow the cycling of multiple haulers at optimum rates.
