Filter discharge feeders

Belt feeders designed for Metso Larox® FFP filters

Metso is globally considered as one of the premier and leading suppliers in bulk handling equipment and mining-duty filters. Combining these areas of expertise, Metso has launched the Filter discharge feeder (FDF), a series of belt feeders designed to work with Metso Larox® FFP filters for tailings and concentrate applications.

120+ years of experience in feeding in the mining industry

Optimized drive selection lowers CAPEX price and OPEX cost

Available plant layouts provide rapid equipment deployment

Standardized models reduce quoting time

An integrated feeding solution

Built for reliability in tailings and concentration applications, the Metso Filter discharge feeder (FDF) is a feeding solution for the discharge of filter cakes. This belt feeder sits below the Larrox® FFP filters. There are 11 models specifically designed in consideration with the dimensions and operations of the FFP Series of filters.

Each model includes a hopper to collect the cake and a cake breaker to break up the cakes for smooth discharge. Instruments are provided to interlock with filter operation. Sizing methodology has been optimized based on filter discharge to reduce the installed motor power.

Each FDF consists of:

Belt feeder including frame
Belting
Carry idlers - optional retraction feature available
Return idlers
Head and tail pulley
Electro-mechanical drive assembly

Guarding and electrical instruments
Receiving hopper
Cake breaker
Skirts
Discharge feed chute
Multiple liner options
Safety instruments

Optimized cake feeding

The FDF is designed for the FFP Series discharge cycle with optimized dimensions, speed, and power. Expertise in filter and belt feeder applications enables optimized drive selection, reducing installed power while maintaining regulated feed rates for CAPEX and OPEX savings.

Each FDF has been standardized to ensure compatibility with the FFP filter. Readily available 3D models simplify plant layouts and result in quicker filtration plant solutions.
