Domestic "Giant" Gets "Smart Brain": Sinoma-Liyang Orders Through Next Year, Heavy-Duty Apron Feeder Lines at Full Capacity
Known as the "throat" of production lines in heavy industries such as mining, metallurgy, and building materials, the heavy-duty apron feeder’s performance directly determines the efficiency and stability of the entire production system. With the development of large-scale mines at home and abroad, demand for heavy-duty apron feeders featuring high processing capacity, reliability, and intelligence has surged.
Leveraging comprehensive advantages in product quality, cost control, and innovative design, Liyang Sinoma’s apron feeders have established strong market competitiveness. They not only occupy a dominant position in the domestic market but also gained a significant share in the international market.
Breaking Three Major "Bottleneck" Challenges
Stronger "Bones and Muscles": The R&D team innovatively adopts a chain plate structure welded with low-alloy steel plates, featuring a double-arc design. It boasts excellent bending resistance, high strength, wear resistance, and no material leakage. The thickest arc plate can be pressed to 25mm. For the chain links, track chains for bulldozers (tank chains) produced by professional manufacturers are selected, which are characterized by small pitch error, smooth operation, high strength, and no lubrication required.
Smarter "Nervous System": The equipment is equipped with a self-developed multi-sensor fusion intelligent control system. Sensors installed across the machine body real-time monitor parameters such as chain plate tension, bearing temperature, and material flow. Operators can grasp the equipment's health status at any time and receive fault warnings promptly.
More Flexible "Joints": Both the track rollers and idlers are made of forged 50Mn or 40Cr material, with an overall quenching hardness of HRC50-55, ensuring excellent wear resistance. Industrial gear oil is injected once before delivery, eliminating the need for regular manual grease injection for traditional track rollers and achieving lifetime maintenance-free operation.
Practical Verification from "Manufacturing" to "Intelligent Manufacturing"
The value of technological breakthroughs is ultimately reflected in harsh industrial sites. The heavy-duty apron feeders produced by Liyang Sinoma have been applied in numerous 10,000-ton-class crushing production lines at home and abroad. Heavy-duty apron feeders over 12 meters in length have been used in projects such as the Dominican Republic 3500 TPD Clinker Line Phase II Expansion Project, Turkey Kentcim 4250 TPD Cement Production Line Supply Project, Pakistan Fauji Clinker Cement Production Line 6500 TPD Project, and Andijan 6500 t/d Clinker Cement Production Line Project, all of which have received unanimous praise from customers.
In addition, the company continues to promote the intelligent transformation of equipment. For the 2024 Kolsim Project in Jambyl Region, Kazakhstan, Liyang Sinoma adopted energy-saving processes and energy-efficient mechanical equipment, coupled with a world-leading and reliable DCS (Distributed Control System). Through continuous process optimization and material innovation, our heavy-duty apron feeders are capable of meeting the challenges of extreme low-temperature environments. Even in harsh cold conditions of minus 40℃ in countries like Russia, the equipment can still maintain stable and reliable operation, demonstrating its excellent environmental adaptability.
Act as a New Fulcrum for Industrial Chain Upgrading
The impact of this breakthrough extends far beyond a single piece of equipment. A single heavy-duty apron feeder can drive the upgrading of an entire industrial chain, covering upstream sectors such as special steel, high-end casting, precision machining, and intelligent sensors.
With the advancement of infrastructure construction in countries along the Belt and Road and the implementation of a new round of domestic equipment upgrading and renovation policies, the market for intelligent, large-scale, and green heavy-duty apron feeders is poised for explosive growth. By seizing the commanding heights through technological innovation, Liyang Sinoma has not only opened up room for its own development but also served as a vivid example of China's transformation from a "manufacturing power" to a "manufacturing powerhouse."
Amid the roar of the workshop, this soon-to-depart steel giant stands quietly. It carries not only thousands of tons of ore but also the weight and determination of China's heavy equipment manufacturing industry to strengthen its backbone and march into the global market.
