Metso apron feeders should not be mistaken for “pan or belt feeders” that are typically used in light duty operations not requiring the benefits of a true crawler tractor-type feeder. 

The Metso feeder is offered in various models, and in an infinite range of lengths to meet most any tonnage requirements. 

The design is based on parts for the world’s most popular crawler tractor. Because the parts are interchangeable, the volume of parts kept in stock may be reduced.

Also, parts are readily available at a relatively low cost.
