Surface Feeder Gambarotta Gschwendt

The handling of material characterized by heavy specific weight, high dust contents and big sizes has always represented a big challenge for Bulk Material Equipment suppliers. Especially for Mining, Cement and Steel industries the necessity of a mechanical system able to withstand heavy loads and material hurts has been felt for several years everywhere. Other significant requirements in these fields typically concern the ability to receive different materials from Trucks or off-tipper Lorries at yard level, minimizing the spillage in the unloading area.
Another important point concern the needed civil works. In fact, Apron Feeders and other type of conveyors usually require an appropriate project and an on-size concrete construction.

The answer to this big challenge has been found on the new GAMBAROTTA-GSCHWENDT EP-W Surface Feeder, the so-called “TIREX”, a new robust machine with a strong structure able to withstand the typical hard work encountered in Mining areas and heavy Industries. This special conveyor has been specifically designed for efficient discharge operations, with the possibility to adjust the flow rate of the conveyed material on demand optimizing the process time.
