Astec - Cold Feed Systems
Astec cold feed and recycle units are built to give many years of service in demanding environments. All parts of Astec bins, from the bins themselves to the steel bulkheads and foundations, are fabricated to perform and stand up to front-end loaders and abrasive materials year after year.
Features such as the protected walkway access at the backside of the belt feeders, steeper bins with better flow and cable trays on portable and relocatable bins give you even more value for your money. Astec designs and manufactures bins to be the most durable, productive and user-friendly.
Astec offers stationary systems, relocatable modular systems and self-contained portable systems.
Astec stationary cold feed systems come in a range of capacities to suit any production requirement. Stationary systems also offer flexibility for future add-ons or alterations. Stationary cold feed bins are anchored to concrete foundations.
The Astec relocatable cold feed system is set in place on a paved site that has at least 3,500 pounds per square foot (17,089 kg per m2) soil bearing pressure. It is supported by its heavy-duty, tublar steel foundation pads. Modular construction eliminates on-site fabrication. Bulkheads and hinged wing walls are safer and eliminate expensive concrete bulkheads.
The portable cold feed system can be set up without cranes in less than an hour, which saves considerable time and money. No concrete or asphalt foundations are required, only compacted soil able to bear 3,000 pounds per square foot (14,648 kg per m2). Comes with built-in bulkhead and wing walls.
