Apron pans and sprockets
Apron pans take the full drop of run-of-mine rock and carry it to the crusher. Sprockets drive the chain that carries them, so both must keep their geometry under heavy, repeated impact.
- Works in
- Apron feeders under dump hoppers and ahead of primary crushers.
- Industries
- Mining, Cement
- Materials
- Manganese steel, Carbon or low-alloy steel
- Size
- Single pieces from 3 kg to 7 tonnes, to drawing
- Supplied
- As cast, or machined to drawing
- Inspection
- Chemistry and hardness on every heat; UT, MPI or DPT and a dimensional report as specified
- From a worn part
- Yes. Send the part or photographs with key dimensions and we will reverse-engineer it
01
How it fails and what we do about it
- 01Pan wear and cracking under falling rockManganese steel that work-hardens under impact.
- 02Spillage between pansOverlaps and stiffeners cast to drawing.
- 03Sprocket tooth wearQuenched and tempered alloy steel; segmented sprockets where the design allows.
02
Choosing the grade
Typical values from the governing standards. A metallurgist confirms the grade for your duty with every quotation.
Carbon and low-alloy steels
Sprockets and lighter-duty pans, quenched and tempered.
ASTM A27 · ASTM A148 · IS 1030 · IS 2644 · EN 10293
03
What we control
- Made to drawingFrom the OEM drawing, a part number or a worn sample reverse-engineered in-house.
- Heat treated for the dutyWater quench for manganese steel; air or oil quench and temper for alloy steel.
- Machined to fitBores, pin holes and flanges machined so the part installs first time.
- Tested and recordedHardness, chemistry and NDT reported with the casting.
