The skirt lining plates and feeder pan of apron feeders are critical wear-resistant components. Skirt liners are typically made of high-wear-resistant alloy steel or rubber. Alloy steel, characterized by high hardness and excellent wear resistance, effectively withstands material abrasion, extending the service life of the lining plates. Rubber materials, on the other hand, possess good elasticity and cushioning properties, reducing equipment damage from impacts, as well as decreasing noise and vibration.

Chain plates are usually manufactured from high-strength, highly wear-resistant alloy steel to ensure they maintain a stable and reliable working condition under impact loads and high-speed operation. Proper selection and design of chain plate materials can effectively improve equipment operating efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and prolong equipment service life, thus playing a crucial role in mining production.
