Apron feeder pan

A pan having spaced wings for an apron feeder having a material hopper and outboard chain conveyors, the chain conveyors having a plurality of said pans and wings, each pan comprising:

• an elongate beam structure extending transversely across the chain conveyors having an upper plate with overhanging portions at opposing left and right distal ends, each left and right distal end of the upper plate having a left and a right outboard chain connection interface for connection to the outboard chain conveyors;
• each left and right distal end having an L-shaped wing having a base portion for parallel and mechanical connection to the upper plate, and an upstanding portion located inward of the left or right outboard chain connection interface, respective
• wherein the outboard chain conveyors comprise left and right opposing chain links sets of axially extending, parallel and spaced endless conveyors, and each pan is connected at corresponding left and right opposing chain links sets, the plurality of adjacent pans forming a material bed between opposing hopper walls, the material bed having a bed width supporting and transporting a live load of material axially along the feeder;
• each left and a right outboard chain connection interface is adapted for mechanical securement to the corresponding left and right chain link sets;
• and
• wherein each of the left and right distal ends has four or more bolt holes corresponding to four or more receiving holes in the corresponding chain link set, two inward and two outward bolt holes.
