McLanahan - Feeder-Breakers Brochure

Feeder-Breakers utilize a horizontal crushing roll and chain-and-flight drag conveyor to process a variety of run-of-mine minerals. They perform primary size reduction and meter the flow of material by properly loading the belt conveyor at a controlled rate. These units 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.
