Designed specifically for heavy bulk material scenarios such as iron ore, granite, coal, and cement clinker, ZOOMRY Hopper Feeder series integrates "high load-bearing capacity, strong adaptability, intelligent control, and low wear". The series spans four configurations — Heavy Duty (12–24 m³, 3,000 TPH), Low Feed (7–12 m³, 800 TPH), Tracked (7–15 m³, 1,000 TPH), and Static — featuring extra-large hopper capacity, IP65 protection, and dual chassis options (wheeled/tracked). Equipped with heavy-duty belt or chain plate feeding systems, it connects directly to belt conveyors and mobile ship loaders for non-secondary handling of heavy bulk materials in mining, port loading/unloading, building materials production, and energy industries worldwide.

Why Choose a Heavy Duty Hopper Feeder Over Standard Feeders for Mining Projects?

High Processing Efficiency

• Extra-large hopper capacity of 12–24 m³, combined with a 70° conical hopper design and expandable hopper side plates (300–900 mm), can withstand full-load feeding from loaders and excavators at one time, avoiding frequent feeding waits and reducing equipment idle time.
• Extreme handling capacity of 3,000 TPH, particularly suitable for large-scale processing scenarios such as large mines and ports — a single device can meet the feeding needs of the entire production line.
• Feeding system optimized for different material characteristics: The heavy-duty belt option adopts EP800 5-layer cord + 8mm+2mm wear-resistant rubber layer design, suitable for medium-hard materials such as coal and cement clinker; The chain plate option is made of hardened steel, matched with ceramic lagged drive rollers, which can easily handle high-wear materials such as iron ore and granite.

Flexible Adaptability

• Dual-chassis design: Wheel-type chassis is suitable for flat sites (such as factory workshops and ports); Tracked chassis is equipped with hydraulic adjustable outriggers and anti-skid crawler tracks, featuring low ground pressure, which can operate stably on rough terrain such as mines and construction sites.
• Flexible switching of drive modes: The electric drive option is energy-saving and efficient, suitable for fixed scenarios with stable power supply; The hydraulic drive option has strong power and fast response speed, suitable for mobile scenarios without stable power supply.
• Global working condition adaptability: IP65 protection level with fully sealed electrical and hydraulic systems, resistant to dust, humidity, high and low temperatures. Compatible with engine configurations meeting EU Stage V/Tier 4 Final and EU Stage IIIA/Tier 3 emission standards.

Safety and Durability

• Upgraded wear-resistant structure: The hopper lining is made of 6 mm hardened steel or 15 mm ULF super wear-resistant material; The feeder frame is welded with high-strength steel structure, optimized through finite element analysis, with a service life of more than 10 years.
• Intelligent safety protection: NEMA-4 rated control panel integrating emergency stop button, operation status monitoring, and fault alarm functions; Pull-rope emergency stop device along the entire length of the body; Interlocking function with subsequent equipment.
• Low-maintenance design: Centralized lubrication system; Standardized wear parts (belts, chain plates, idlers); Hydraulic system with efficient cooler and filtering device, shortening annual maintenance time by more than 30%.

Intelligent Production

• Variable frequency speed regulation system: Feeding speed adjustable from 0–100% through VSD, real-time matching with subsequent equipment processing capacity.
• HMI and fault display system: Real-time monitoring of equipment operating parameters; fault information automatically alarmed and recorded; wireless remote control operation supported.
• Collaborative linkage capability: Standard communication interfaces for connection to existing PLC and MES systems, realizing automatic scheduling and data management of the feeding process.

Which Industries and Applications Require Hopper Feeders for Bulk Material Feeding?

Mining Industry

• Application Scenarios: Feeding and transferring of ore after mining in open-pit and underground mines, such as iron ore, copper ore, granite mines.
• Application Solutions: Directly connect to excavators and loaders for feeding, transporting ore directly from the mining site to crushers and belt conveyors, eliminating secondary handling. The tracked chassis is suitable for rough terrain, with a wear-resistant feeding system that resists high-intensity wear for 24/7 continuous operation.

Ports and Terminals

• Application Scenarios: Loading and unloading of bulk cargo ships, stockpiling and reclaiming at ports, such as terminal transfer of coal, coke, and ore.
• Application Solutions: The 3,000 TPH handling capacity meets large-scale port operation needs. The wheel-type chassis facilitates flexible movement; the 15–24 m inclined arm adapts to different ship tonnages and stockpiling heights; Supports RORO transportation and 40 ft container transportation for quick global deployment.

Building Materials and Energy Industry

• Application Scenarios: Feeding of cement clinker production lines, coal conveying systems in coal-fired power plants, aggregate transportation in building materials factories.
• Application Solutions: Adapts to different material characteristics. Precise feeding ensures stable production processes. The electric drive option meets environmental protection requirements. The low-maintenance design reduces production line downtime.

Recycling and Infrastructure Fields

• Application Scenarios: Construction waste recycling and treatment, aggregate transportation in large-scale infrastructure projects.
• Application Solutions: The chain plate feeding system can handle hard blocks and impurities in construction waste. The tracked chassis adapts to complex terrain. The modular design facilitates transfer and transportation, meeting the feeding needs of different project stages.
