The Next Generation in Apron Feeder Technology.
RCR Mining Technologies is proud to introduce the Sealed Pan Feeder – a world-first, industry-leading product reshaping the future of apron feeder technology.
Featuring superior impact and abrasion resistance, sealed apron technology, a low profile, and no dribble conveyor requirement, the Sealed Pan Feeder combines the robustness of an Apron Feeder with the sealing capabilities of a Belt Feeder.
The Sealed Pan Feeder is designed by RCR Mining Technologies’ innovative engineering team and manufactured in Western Australia.
Sealed Pan Feeder Benefits
Enhanced reliability through cutting-edge technology.

Reduced Maintenance
Outboard chain, carry rollers, return rollers, sprockets and idlers are positioned outside of the material zone, reducing wear and tear and providing greater accessibility to components.
Improved Spillage Control
The sealed running surface and integrated overlapping pan wings provide improved spillage control.
Improved carry-back control
The scrapable running surface provides improved carry-back control.
Robustness comparable to an apron feeder
Sharing over 90% of common components and materials with the Apron Feeder, the Sealed Pan Feeder offers superior robustness.
No dribble management required
The sealed running surface eliminates the need for a dribble conveyor and the associated chute work, reducing the ongoing maintenance and operating costs.
No compromise of a belt cover
The durable cast manganese steel surface means no compromise of a belt cover as seen on other feeder technologies.
Reverse Capability
Optional capability to run in both forward and reverse direction operationally, due to the symmetric nature of pan and seal configuration.
Reduced Environmental Impact
Improved maintenance intervals and the elimination of the dribble conveyor inherently reduce environmental impact.
DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA
