ZR65D Hopper Feeder

The ZR65D Hopper Feeder is an efficient feeding equipment specially designed by ZOOMRY for small and medium-sized quarries and building materials factories. As the core 200TPH feeder, it is equipped with a 5m³ capacity dust-proof hopper and achieves stable feeding at a belt speed of 2.0m/s; featuring a hydraulic folding arm (folding time <5min) that significantly reduces transportation space, the lightweight wheeled chassis is suitable for flexible movement in small and medium-sized sites, effectively reducing material scattering and loss from the source, and certified by CE and EAC international standards, making it the preferred quarry feeding equipment in small and medium-sized bulk material operation scenarios for "space-saving, easy operation, and high adaptability."

Core Functions of ZR65D Hopper Feeder

As a professional wheeled/crawler feeder (wheeled as standard configuration, crawler optional), the core competitiveness of ZR65D lies in "flexibility for small and medium-sized operations + reliability of stable feeding"—targeting the pain points of small and medium-sized quarries and building materials factories such as "limited space, inconvenient transportation, and difficult capacity matching," it achieves "efficient operation in small spaces and quick production in short cycles" through functional optimization, solving the problems of traditional feeding equipment like "large size and difficult relocation, uneven feeding with high loss," while fitting the needs of small and medium-sized scenarios for "low cost and easy maintenance."

Hydraulic Folding Arm

The equipment arm adopts a hydraulic-driven folding design, with the entire folding process taking only 5 minutes, improving efficiency by 11 times compared to the disassembly and folding method of traditional fixed feeders (average 1 hour). After folding, the overall equipment size can be compressed to 12m×2.3m×2.5m, perfectly fitting 40-foot high cube container transportation without the need for oversize or overheight transportation permits—for global small and medium-sized projects, this design can reduce cross-border logistics costs by 30%, avoiding delays caused by special transportation. At the same time, the folding arm uses a high-strength lattice frame structure, with wear-resistant bushings added at the folding joints, offering a service life exceeding 3000 folding operations, fully meeting the demands of small and medium-sized operations for "frequent relocation and long-term use."

Lightweight Wheeled Chassis

The chassis is made of lightweight high-strength steel, with an overall weight of only 18 tons (excluding optional accessories), paired with 4 sets of ultra-wear-resistant solid tires (load-bearing up to 8 tons per wheel), and a minimum turning radius of only 5 meters, allowing flexible movement in narrow passages of small and medium-sized quarries and gaps in building materials factory workshops. Compared to the "fixed operation + large trailer transfer" mode of traditional heavy feeders, the ZR65D can independently complete relocation with a single unit, shortening the relocation time from the traditional 2 hours to 15 minutes, without the need for additional trailers, saving transfer costs. If the site is muddy or rugged, an optional crawler chassis (ground specific pressure 0.07MPa) can be installed to further enhance terrain adaptability.

Dust-Proof Hopper

The hopper adopts a "wide at the top and narrow at the bottom" conical structure, with an effective capacity of 5m³, perfectly matching the needs of small and medium-sized operations for "moderate single feeding volume and continuous replenishment without backlog;" the inner side of the hopper is equipped with 10mm thick wear-resistant steel plates, extending the service life by 60% compared to ordinary carbon steel hoppers for wear-resistant materials like granite and sand. More crucially, the hopper is equipped with 300mm high rubber skirts around the sides, with an optional dust-proof cover on top, combined with a sealed discharge port at the bottom, controlling material scattering rate below 0.5%, avoiding environmental risks from excessive dust, and complying with EU dust emission limit standards (≤50mg/m³).

Stable Feeding

The equipment achieves a stable feeding capacity of 200TPH through the collaborative design of "hopper buffering + belt uniform speed conveying," perfectly matching the crushing lines of small and medium-sized quarries (typically 200-300TPH capacity) and raw material conveying needs of building materials factories. The belt uses high-wear-resistant PVG material (thickness 12mm), with a diamond pattern surface treatment that improves anti-slip performance by 40%, preventing material slippage during conveying; the belt tensioning system adopts manual screw adjustment, simple to operate, allowing small and medium-sized teams to complete maintenance without professional engineers. Actual operation data shows that the feeding volume fluctuation error of ZR65D is ≤3%, far below the industry average of 5%, ensuring continuous and stable operation of downstream equipment (such as crushers and conveyors).

Core Components

The ZR65D Hopper Feeder can maintain "low failure and easy maintenance" in small and medium-sized scenarios, with the key lying in the targeted design of core components around "adaptability, durability, and ease of operation"—from drive to protection, each component has undergone simulation testing for small and medium-sized working conditions at ZOOMRY's quality testing center, ensuring long-term adaptation to the "low intensity and high frequency" usage demands of small and medium-sized operations.

Drive System

The drive system can optionally use well-known brands such as SEW (Germany) or JIE (China) gear motors, with an output power of 18.5kW, perfectly matching the 200TPH feeding demand, motor efficiency above 95%, saving 10% energy compared to ordinary motors. The motor adopts IP55 protection level, capable of resisting dust in quarries and humidity in building materials factories, and is equipped with overload protection devices that automatically shut down when feeding exceeds 220TPH, avoiding motor burnout and reducing maintenance risks for small and medium-sized teams.

Hydraulic Folding System

The hydraulic system is specially designed for the folding arm, using China's top hydraulic power pack, with a 150L oil tank capacity, equipped with dual filtration devices (filtration accuracy 10μm), and hydraulic oil cleanliness reaching NAS 8 level, ensuring smooth and jam-free folding actions. The hydraulic cylinders use 45# seamless steel pipe material, with a cylinder diameter of 80mm and stroke of 1.2m, providing sufficient thrust to complete arm folding; the cylinder seals use imported polyurethane material, oil-resistant and wear-resistant, with a service life exceeding 8000 hours, 50% longer than ordinary seals. Even in -10℃ low-temperature environments, the hydraulic system can respond quickly without delay in folding actions, adapting to operational needs in some temperate regions.

Dust-Proof Hopper Structure

In addition to the core dust-proof design, the hopper incorporates multiple details adapted to small and medium-sized operations: a vibration motor (power 0.75kW, optional) is installed at the bottom of the hopper, effectively preventing material bridging and blockage for wet and clumpy sand, gravel, or clay, reducing manual cleaning time (saving 4 hours of cleaning labor per month); reinforcing ribs are welded on the outer side of the hopper to enhance overall rigidity and avoid deformation after long-term use; the hopper inlet edges are rounded for easy replenishment by loaders or excavators, reducing material spillage.

Basic Control System

Considering the operational capabilities of small and medium-sized teams, the control system of the ZR65D Hopper Feeder focuses on "simplicity and practicality," equipped with a 7-inch HMI touch screen (supporting multilingual switching such as English, Spanish, Russian), with the operation interface retaining only core functions like "start/stop, feeding speed adjustment, fold/unfold," without complex parameter settings. It supports two operation modes:

1. Local manual mode: Complete all actions via the operation panel on the side of the equipment, suitable for quick adjustments during close-range operations;
2. Remote control mode: Equipped with a 20-meter range wireless remote controller, allowing operators to synchronously control feeding rhythm from beside the loader, avoiding frequent trips between the equipment and loader, improving operational efficiency.

In emergencies, the equipment is equipped with dual emergency stop buttons (one at each end of the equipment), which immediately cut off power upon pressing, ensuring operational safety—the entire control system has undergone "usability testing" by ZOOMRY, allowing ordinary operators to independently operate after 1 hour of training, fully adapting to the characteristics of small and medium-sized teams with "relatively limited personnel skills."

Convenient Transportation and Efficient Installation

For small and medium-sized projects, "high transportation costs and long installation cycles" are often core pain points—the ZR65D Hopper Feeder, through "folding compression + pre-assembly" design, significantly reduces transportation and installation difficulties while ensuring performance, guaranteeing quick project commissioning and early revenue generation.

40-Foot High Cube Container Transportation

After folding, the ZR65D dimensions are 12m×2.3m×2.5m, fully fitting the transportation limits of a 40-foot high cube container (length 12.03m×width 2.35m×height 2.69m), with a folded weight of about 18 tons, not exceeding the container load limit (28 tons). All core components (such as hydraulic power pack, control system, hopper) are fixed in place at the factory, requiring only the removal of the folding arm's connecting pins for container loading, without disassembling complex structures—compared to the "bulk + welded fixation" transportation method of traditional feeders, cross-border logistics costs are reduced by 30%, and structural risks from on-site re-welding are avoided.

1-2 Days On-Site Installation

The equipment has completed 90% pre-assembly work before leaving the factory, with hydraulic pipelines and electrical lines already connected; on-site only requires completing 3 core processes, and if customers have needs, ZOOMRY can dispatch engineers for on-site guidance:

1. Unfold the folding arm and fix the pins (1 person can complete in 1 hour);
2. Connect power and test motor direction (requires electrician cooperation, 0.5 hours);
3. Check hydraulic oil level and perform no-load trial run (0.5 hours). ZOOMRY provides an installation guide manual, with content optimized for small and medium-sized teams, without piling up professional terms, clearly marking each operation point and tool model (such as using a 30mm wrench for pin fixation).

Adaptation to Multi-Market Standards

As feeding equipment oriented towards small and medium-sized markets, the ZR65D Hopper Feeder ensures compliant use in different countries and regions through multiple international certifications and strict quality controls, while guaranteeing long-term reliability.
