Connect Group has supplied, fabricated and installed equipment and materials for several complete and partial Apron Feeders Rebuilds/Overhauls. These projects included preparation of site, disconnect & removal of electrical components from crusher housing & apron feeder walls with removal of old wall sections and install of apron feeder components and walls, inclusive of crusher housing and head shaft. Connect Group drove a leading innovation that controlled the apron feeder rotation via PLC logic from the MCC and did not require operations in order to rotate the apron feeder.

We are specialists when it comes to heavy lifts and rotating equipment. Connect Group has experience with all major components and manufacturers of Apron Feeders

Connect Group has developed specialized welding procedures for various liner plates, overlays, stainless, and low-impact notch tough grades of steel (Cat 4).

At Connect Group pioneering new ways to execute heavy operations is exactly what we want to do. Custom lifting jigs have been designed, fabricated, and utilized during an Apron Feeder rebuild to reducing hoisting durations and improve critical path activities.

We recognize opportunities for improvement, and we challenge the status quo. Just because industry has done something the same way, for time immemorial, doesn’t mean it’s the best, safest, or even the RIGHT way.
