Highland's mobile feeder / breaker's are designed to operate under extreme conditions. our frames are fabricated from high grade heavy steel by experienced fabricators. Our pick breakers are custom machined from high strength steel to meet your needs. When the VFD controller detects heavy resistance on the pick breaker it will slow down the conveyor allowing the breaker to crush the material to avoid a jam removing strain on the conveyor and breaker components. Equipped with planetary driven crawlers designed by Highland to give better performance and less maintenance. With up to 1,200 TPH production capacity and adjustable conveyor speed controls our feeders deliver reliable performance for increased production.
Highland's patented 'Rapid Move' drag feeder is a belt feeder / tailpiece combination. Designed for 36", 42" or 48" belts this feeder eliminates the belt tailpiece allowing the tailpiece and feeder to be moved in one quick move. The feeder conveyor is driven by existing belt eliminating electric motors on machines up to 320 tons per hour. If the belt goes down the feeder stops loading the belt reducing spillage and less downtime clearing the belt. Unloading time of a 7.5 ton car is approximately 24 seconds and with a three way dumping load end makes it easier to load.
