Apron feeders are crucial components of material handling in many industries. Their robust construction and precise control capabilities make them uniquely suited for transporting challenging materials, such as high-temperature materials, in demanding environments.
Understanding the Mechanics of Apron Feeders:
Apron feeders are conveyors in which material is carried on overlapping steel plates, known as "aprons," that travel over sprockets, rollers, and gears. These components are fabricated from high-strength steel and designed to withstand significant wear and tear. Motors and gearboxes power the feeder, enabling controlled movement of the aprons and the material they carry. RUD apron feeders are connected by conveyor chains driven by a calibrated toothed pocket wheel.
The overlapping design of the plates is critical because it ensures smooth and consistent material flow while eliminating spillage. This feature makes apron feeders ideal for handling materials that are difficult to transport, such as:
Abrasive materials: Sand, gravel, crushed rock, and similar materials that can damage conventional conveyor systems.
Sticky materials: Clay, cement, and other materials with high viscosity that tend to cling to surfaces.
Hot materials: Molten metals, slag, and other materials requiring heat-resistant components.
Lumpy materials: Coal, ore, and other materials with irregular shapes and sizes can clog conventional conveyors.
Advantages of Apron Feeders:
The unique design and construction of apron feeders offer several advantages, cementing their position as the preferred solution for material handling in various industries.
The benefits of apron feeders are:
Precise Control: Apron feeders allow operators to precisely adjust material flow rate, ensuring efficient production and minimising waste.

Cement asphalt plants use bucket elevators to move the material to the plant mixing tower. Bucket elevators used in asphalt plants should withstand high material temperatures (frequently reaching 180-200°C) and operate at high capacity (e.g. up to 100-200 tonne/hour).
An asphalt plant in South Australia had operational capacity problems and frequent DIN bracket-type bucket elevator system breakage. The plant was only producing 85,000t annually, which was quite low compared to the standard 100t per hour over a 2,000-hour system life (200,000t per year). In addition, they experienced significant downtime due to replacing the chains and brackets every 8-12 months, negatively impacting their efficiency and throughput.
The Challenges with the Current System
The current system had a few shortcomings, such as:
Low chain hardness: Forged chain links were wearing faster due to lower hardness.
Small wheel diameter: The small wheels did not fit the chain size, accelerating wear in the interlink area.
Single-link contact: Each wheel rotated and pivoted the bucket on a single link, concentrating the centrifugal load and causing high interlink wear.
In comparison to the short life of the DIN system, RUD endless chains only need to be replaced after producing approximately 200,000t. The bucket attachments, however, can be replaced after approximately 400,000t, which was a huge advantage to the plant. The RUD system is superior, with endless chains and bucket attachments, doubling the chain life and increasing component life by four times.
Description of the problem:
The chain contact with the DIN shackles was wearing out faster in the interlink area because it had lower hardness. The wheel diameter was also too small for optimal chain life. All the centrifugal load was applied on the bucket shackle as it moved around the wheel, resulting in higher interlink wear.
Some of the issues the plant was facing were:
High temperature - Resulting in the tempering of the forged shackles.
Head wheels getting worn - Because they were non-hardened.
High link wear due to the small diameter of the wheels and single link contact.
Noisier operation due to chain and shackles not being matched. For example, an 18mm chain was used for a 20mm shackle.
Why did the client approach RUD?
Most bulk material handling sites in Australia using the DIN shackle system are gradually being replaced with the RUD 2WIN solution. The 2WIN system has a 3-link interlink contact, which makes conveyors more stable and provides longer component life.
The client was aware that RUD had successfully completed many upgrades of 2WIN conversions, so they invited RUD to propose a full conversion plan.
Some of the reasons for approaching RUD were:
Limited availability: The original 20mm shackles required frequent replacement and became difficult to source globally.
Enhanced chain performance: The 19x75 chain spacing offered improved pitch length and higher hardness (82hV, a 10% increase).
Superior hardening: Continuous chain case hardening provided significant advantages over existing chain hardness.
The RUD Solution:
RUD implemented the 2WIN solution with a 3-link contact with the 19x75 chain, making the conveyor stable even on smaller-diameter wheels. This included replacing the treads with hardened wheels which fitted the existing casings. The treads were a bolt-on design for easy installation and replacement when required. The added benefit was that the capacity could be maintained or even increased with bucket spacing on a 19x75 chain.
RUD bucket elevator systems offer a range of proven, high capacity and flexible solutions for all vertical handling applications. The hardened steel chain systems support large capacity conveying, providing maximum throughput.
Increased Efficiency - Ultra-hardened chain R100 chain systems handle larger capacities and process more material.
Easy Adaptability - Perfect for a lump or granular material.
Simplified Maintenance - Easy access casings facilitate fast replacement of teeth, treads, and wheel segments.
The Result:
Regular chain wear measurements will be monitored with a service and support plan to maximise chain life and performance. We use predictable life projections for scheduled maintenance to avoid unplanned downtime. Most of our component kits are planned and delivered well before a shutdown. Backup kits are supplied before planned outages to avoid unscheduled downtime.
A Win-Win Situation
The RUD 2WIN system ensures efficient operation in the demanding hot asphalt environment for many years. The 2WIN attachment, fixed on the bucket, distributes load, and extends the bucket lifespan. Additionally, these attachments are replaced only with every second chain change, maximising efficiency. Full tensioner wheel contact minimises tread wear and extends chain life. The hardened RUD components are superior to the previous wheel, and the treads only require changing every second chain set.
This upgrade with the 2WIN system is a WIN-WIN for both RUD and the client.

Ensuring a safe and controlled operation is critical in the challenging conditions of marine projects. Marine environments are corrosive and heavily influenced by currents and tides. Hence, it is paramount that all factors are considered before installation to ensure long-term performance.
This article discusses the reasons why the RUD TECDOS drive solution was ideal for the Brisbane River Ferry Terminals.
The Challenge: Decoupling Walkway in a Marine Environment
International Consulting Engineering company Aurecon approached RUD seeking a drive solution to decouple the Brisbane River Ferry Terminal walkways. The biggest challenge was enabling controlled release and rotation of the walkway undercurrents and tides and preventing damage caused by the ebb and recess of the water flow.
Why TECDOS? Addressing Key Requirements
RUD invited Aurecon to a site visit to the Brisbane factory to demonstrate and showcase the capabilities of the RUD TECDOS system.
RUD TECDOS possessed several benefits that aligned with the project's specific requirements:
Corrosion Resistance: The zinc-coated RUD TECDOS chain is specially designed to withstand challenging marine environments, ensuring long-lasting performance without rusting even in a static position.
3D Flexibility: The inherent flexibility of the TECDOS chain allows for smooth and controlled movement of the walkway, accommodating slight misalignments while maintaining structural integrity. This is crucial for ensuring proper engagement and release during operation.
Compact Design: Compared to conventional wire rope cables, the TECDOS system utilises compact wheels with six pocket teeth, minimising space constraints within the terminal design.
Static Functionality: The system is designed to remain idle in a static position until decoupling is required. This ensures minimal wear and tear on the components during normal operation, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance needs.
Accurately Rated Load Capacity: The TECDOS system offers accurately rated load capacities, ensuring the safe and reliable handling of the walkway under various load conditions, including potential debris accumulation or high water levels.
Click for more details of TECDOSPi-Gamma Drive and Omega Drive technology and why RUD is the world leader in drive technology based on the RUD round steel chain mechanism for horizontal, vertical and rotational applications.
The RUD Solution: A Controlled and Safe Decoupling Mechanism
The implemented solution leverages the TECDOS chain drive system to achieve a controlled and safe decoupling process:
Chain Release with Damping: The mechanism utilises the TECDOS chain to control and lift the rotating gangway (walkway support structure) away from its cradle through a dampener system. This dampener ensures smooth lifting motion, preventing sudden movements and potential damage.
Controlled Decoupling and Rotation: The control arm is integrated with the TECDOS chain to facilitate the lifting and subsequent release of the walkway. This allows the walkway to rotate controlled, aligning it with the downstream river flow to prevent damage during high tides, which increase water levels.
The Result: A Proven and Replicable Solution
The success of the RUD TECDOS implementation at the Brisbane River Ferry Terminal is evident by:
Multiple Installations: We have installed the TECDOS drive solution in seven ferry terminals across Brisbane. Each terminal uses nine TECDOS six-tooth pocket wheels, chains, and terminations per unit. Each unit features a fixed pocket wheel connected to the dampener for controlled speed and additional wheels facilitating lifting and releasing the gangway.
Operational Success: The fully fabricated and controlled system is operational across all seven ferry terminals, demonstrating its effectiveness in safely managing walkway decoupling during high tides and debris during flooding.
Watch the video of the engineering and design from Aurecon, which ensured an ideal option to ensure the critical ferry infrastructure is flood resilient, accessible and for travellers to enjoy and celebrate the river.
Conclusion: Addressing Marine Challenges with Innovative Solutions
The RUD TECDOS system on the Brisbane River Ferry Terminal demonstrates its versatility and effectiveness in addressing complex challenges in the marine sector. Its corrosion resistance, 3D flexibility, compact design, and precisely rated load capacity make it an ideal solution for applications requiring controlled movement and reliable operation in challenging environments.
In addition, the system's modular design and proven track record across multiple installations highlight its potential for wider implementation within the conveying and drive sectors, where accurate control, corrosion resistance, and space optimisation are critical considerations.
