PAF / RKF key dimensions and drive range

This product is customized to project feed conditions, capacity, installation space and downstream interfaces. The table lists only ranges explicitly stated in the current public FLS datasheet.

SeriesPan widthEquipment lengthChain sizeMaximum feed sizeMaximum inclinationMaximum speedDrive power
Primary Apron Feeder PAF / RKF1.0–3.0 mUp to 30 mD4–D10Up to 2,000 mmUp to 26°Up to 30 m/min45 kW–2 × 700 kW
Actual capacity also depends on bulk density, maximum lump size, hopper pressure, inclination, speed, pan structure, drive type and downstream interfaces. Width or length alone is insufficient to identify spares.

Wear Parts

Pans, impact plates and liners by position

Start with pans directly exposed to ore impact and abrasion, then review receiving, sidewall, tail, head discharge and drip pan positions. Each item links to the relevant part and material pages.

Receiving Impact Plates

Impact Plate

Installed in high-drop receiving zones, these plates distribute direct impact from large lumps on pans, supports and frames. Check installation section, plate shape, thickness, hole pattern, fastening structure, material drop point and safe clearance to pans.

Head Discharge Chute Liners

Head Discharge Chute Liner

These liners protect the head discharge area and changes of direction in downstream chutes. Check discharge trajectory, mounting face, segment layout, plate thickness, hole pattern, adjacent structural clearances and downstream equipment interfaces.

Spare Parts

Chains, pins, bushings, rollers, sprockets and tensioners

Parts with the same name are not interchangeable by appearance across RKF configurations, chain sizes, inboard/outboard arrangements or installation sides. Check dimensional relationships, materials and function.

Track Chain Links

Track Chain Link

Links transmit traction with pins, bushings and pan connectors. Check FLS chain size D4–D10, inboard or outboard arrangement, pitch, track width, mounting distance, connecting holes and lubrication type.

Chain Pins and Bushings

Chain Pin and Bushing

Pins and bushings form chain joints and withstand alternating bearing pressure. Check pin and bushing diameters, length, interference, end retention, lubrication structure, link model and mating clearance.

Drive Sprockets / Segmented Teeth

Drive Sprocket / Tooth Segment

Sprockets mesh with the track chains to transmit drive torque. The current FLS design uses replaceable bolted tooth segments. Check tooth count, pitch, tooth profile, installation side, hub, hole pattern, shaft fit and chain size.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does FLS PAF / RKF have a fixed set of standard models?

Current documents define it as a heavy-duty apron feeder customized to project conditions. Published data cover width, length, chain, inclination, speed and power ranges. Identify documented configurations through project records.

Can pans and chains be manufactured using equipment width alone?

No. Also check the complete configuration, serial number, chain size, inboard/outboard arrangement, pitch, mounting distance, pan overlaps, hole patterns, drawing revision and actual operating conditions.

Submit your FLS PAF / RKF configuration, drawing, pan or core spare requirements

Provide the complete configuration, serial number, chain size, inboard/outboard arrangement, drawings or samples, used-part photos, critical dimensions, material and operating conditions. We use these to identify parts, assess materials, match manufacturing requirements, control quality and deliver finished components.
