Time:2026-01-07 11:03:04 Number of Clicks:

In the bulk material conveying industry, the hopper feeder is a key equipment connecting front-end raw material storage and back-end conveying systems. For high-density bulk materials such as iron ore, gold ore, bauxite, and coal, traditional feeding equipment has a handling capacity only ranging from 1000-2000tph, which cannot meet the large-scale mining needs of large mines; the rigid structure is difficult to withstand the huge impact force when loaders dump materials, leading to easy deformation of components; the fixed installation design limits the flexible scheduling of the site, making it ineffective in ports and terminals with limited space or mines with multi-area operations.

ZOOMRY 3500tph Heavy Duty Hopper Feeder is compatible with customized requirements from 300-5000tph, specifically designed for high-density, large-particle heavy bulk materials. It can seamlessly connect loaders with Belt ConveyorsTelescopic StackersShiploaders and other equipment, realizing efficient and stable transfer of raw materials from the ground to the conveying system. Whether it is large-scale open-pit mining, ship loading and unloading at ports and terminals, or raw material pretreatment in steel plants, it can become the preferred heavy-duty feeding solution for global enterprises with the advantages of "heavy-load without jamming, unobstructed movement, and intelligent operation".

As a global bulk material conveying equipment supplier, ZOOMRY's product design has always followed the principle of "international standards, local adaptation". The 3500tph Heavy Duty Hopper Feeder not only complies with Chinese GB standards but also has obtained multiple international certifications such as CE (Europe), EAC (Russia), and KCS (South Korea), meeting the technical specifications and environmental protection requirements of different countries and regions, truly achieving "one equipment, globally applicable".

I. Core Advantages of Heavy Duty Hopper Feeder

(1) 3500tph Ultra-Heavy Handling Capacity

Based on an "8.8m³ extra-large capacity hopper", ZOOMRY 3500tph Heavy Duty Hopper Feeder is equipped with a double chain plate + belt composite feeding system, achieving a stable handling capacity of 3500 tons per hour. Taking iron ore with a density of about 2.0t/m³ as an example, the equipment can transfer 1750m³ of raw materials per hour, equivalent to the total loading capacity of 10 35-ton heavy-duty trucks.

To support ultra-heavy production capacity, the equipment has undergone enhanced design in core components: the feeding conveyor adopts 45KW×2 dual-motor drive, and the hopper outlet conveyor is equipped with 90KW×2 high-power motors, ensuring sufficient power under heavy-load working conditions; the hopper adopts a 6.3m×2.85m wide-body design, combined with wear-resistant liners and rubber anti-spill skirts, which can not only accommodate the single large-capacity dumping of loaders but also effectively prevent material spilling and wear, extending the service life of the equipment.

In response to differences in project scales in different countries and regions, ZOOMRY provides customized services from small and medium-sized projects of 300tph to extra-large projects of 5000tph. Parameters such as hopper volume, conveyor belt speed, and motor power can be adjusted according to raw material characteristics (such as particle size, density, humidity) and site conditions, truly achieving "customization on demand and precise adaptation". For example, in small-scale mining projects in Southeast Asia, a compact design can be provided; in large-scale iron ore mines in Australia, it can be upgraded to an ultra-heavy configuration to meet large-scale mining needs.

(2) Convenient Global Transportation, Efficient Installation and Maintenance

For international projects, the transportation and installation efficiency of equipment is a key factor affecting project progress. ZOOMRY 3500tph Heavy Duty Hopper Feeder adopts a fully modular design, splitting core components such as motors, conveyor belts, chain plates, and hoppers into independent modules, which can be easily loaded into 40-foot HQ containers, realizing low-cost global transportation——from ZOOMRY's production base in Hebei, China to European ports, it only takes 20-30 days of sea transportation to arrive, and on-site assembly only takes 10-15 days, greatly shortening the project preparation cycle.

In any region of the world, customers can quickly replace worn parts through simple disassembly: the conveyor belt adopts a standardized interface design, and on-site replacement only requires 2-3 technical personnel; key components such as motors and hydraulic systems are selected from internationally renowned brands such as SEW and FLENDER, with a sound global after-sales service network and timely supply of spare parts. This "easy to disassemble and install, globally applicable" design perfectly solves the pain points of "difficult maintenance and slow spare parts supply" in international projects, especially suitable for mining or port projects in remote areas.

(3) Dual Options of Tracked/Wheeled Chassis

Global bulk material handling scenarios are diverse, from flat ports and terminals to rugged mining sites, putting forward high requirements for the mobility of equipment. ZOOMRY 3500tph Heavy Duty Hopper Feeder provides two chassis options: tracked and fully hydraulic wheeled, adapting to different terrain conditions:

  • Tracked chassis (rubber tracks optional): Adopts hydraulic drive with low ground pressure, which can move freely in muddy and rugged mining terrain, and maintain stability even on sites with large slopes. It is suitable for complex scenarios such as open-pit mines and construction waste disposal sites. In mining projects in the Amazon rainforest of South America, rubber tracks can effectively avoid damaging ground vegetation, complying with local environmental protection requirements; in permafrost areas of Northern Europe, the tracked design can enhance ground adhesion and prevent equipment slipping.
  • Fully hydraulic wheeled chassis: Equipped with extra-heavy solid tires, suitable for flat sites such as ports and terminals, and raw material yards of steel plants. It has fast moving speed and flexible steering, which can quickly adjust the operating position and improve site utilization.

The receiving hopper at the tail of the equipment adopts a low-position layout, combined with adjustable hydraulic outriggers, and the feeding height can be flexibly adapted to different types of loaders and excavators, without the need for additional construction of feeding platforms, reducing site transformation costs.

(4) Intelligent Control and Safety Protection: Adapting to Global Safety Standards

In the international industrial field, "safety, intelligence, and environmental protection" have become core considerations for equipment selection. ZOOMRY 3500tph Heavy Duty Hopper Feeder integrates advanced intelligent technology and comprehensive safety protection design, which not only improves operational efficiency but also meets strict global safety standards.

In terms of operation mode, the equipment supports two control modes: manual operation through the local control cabinet and wireless remote control within 300 meters. The wireless remote control adopts industrial-grade waterproof and dustproof design, which can work stably even in rainy days and dusty mining environments——operators can real-time control equipment movement, feeding speed, conveyor belt start and stop and other functions in a safe area, not only reducing labor intensity but also avoiding safety risks caused by close contact with heavy-load equipment.

In terms of the safety protection system, the equipment adopts a fully sealed electrical control system with an IP65 protection level, which can resist erosion from harsh environments such as humidity, dust, and corrosive gases, adapting to climate conditions in different regions (such as high temperature and humidity in Southeast Asia, and low temperature and cold in Northern Europe). At the same time, the equipment is also equipped with multiple safety devices such as belt deviation detection, overload protection, and emergency stop buttons: when the conveyor belt deviates, the system will automatically alarm and adjust; when the load exceeds the rated value, the motor will automatically power off for protection; in emergency situations, operators can quickly stop the machine through remote control or on-site buttons, maximizing the safety of personnel and equipment.

(5) Multi-Material Compatibility

The global bulk material handling industry involves a wide variety of raw materials, and the dominant materials vary significantly in different regions: Europe is dominated by coal and aggregates, Asia focuses on steel and bauxite, while the Americas are centered on iron ore and coal. Through flexible design, ZOOMRY 3500tph Heavy Duty Hopper Feeder realizes compatible handling of various materials, including iron ore, gold ore, concentrate, sand and gravel, bauxite, coal, etc.

According to the characteristics of different materials, the equipment has been targeted optimized: for high-hardness materials such as iron ore and sand gravel, wear-resistant chain plates and thickened conveyor belts are adopted to enhance wear resistance; for materials with high humidity such as coal and concentrate, anti-sticking scrapers and hopper drainage holes are designed to avoid material caking and blockage; for large-particle sand gravel, the width of the conveyor belt is widened to ensure stable material conveying without jamming.
