Joy underground feeder-breakers are the industry standard for providing efficient, flexible sizing and surge capacity. As the interface between batch haulage and the conveyor belt, feeder-breakers are the essential connection between the mining and material handling systems, allowing both to operate at maximum efficiency and productivity. The UFB-16 was designed specifically to meet the operational and legal requirements of the South African market.
Enhanced breaker drum
The UFB-16 features an enhanced breaker drum:
- Critical component for machine performance
- Lasts up to three times longer than competitive designs for longer service
- Tapered roller bearing design with improved seals for increased productivity
