Drag Feeders & Reclaim Feeders

Drag Feeders are well-suited for surface mining operates that need to move free-flowing materials such as coal, lignite, trona, salt, petroleum coke, bauxite, copper and gypsum, while Reclaim Feeders use the same style of feeding to move stockpiled materials. Typically tied into the operation of a downstream conveyor, Drag Feeders and Reclaim Feeders do not require an operate, making them a safe and simple part of the material handling process.
