NEW FELCO INDUSTRIES Model 60 Bedding Conveyor System

8 CY Hopper (neat), Hopper Vibrator, Hopper Grate

The Felco Model 60 Bedding Conveyor has an 8 CY hopper and rollers under a 30” wide conveyor belt. When the entire belt is loaded with material plus the hopper is full, approximately 10 CYs of material is available.

The Bedding Conveyor allows pipe bedding material to be delivered and placed with the lead excavator. A hopper behind the excavator is filled with bedding material, then a hydraulic motor runs the conveyor belt which transfers the material that comes out the bottom of the hopper between the excavator tracks to the front of the excavator. Typically operators shoot the amount of material they need into their digging bucket to then place on the pipe in the trench.

The entire system is operated from the cab. The Felco Bedding Conveyor replaces cumbersome bedding boxes, reduces the time it takes to bed a piece of pipe, minimizes material waste, and keeps the excavator operator’s attention on the trench.

The Felco Bedding Conveyor can deliver one cubic yard of bedding material from the hopper to the front of the excavator every 7 – 10 seconds. With five different models to accommodate 100 class excavators and up, the bedding conveyors can accommodate a wide range of machines. Additionally, with bolt-in Conveyor Extensions, Felco Bedding Conveyors can be moved to other excavators and mounted with the purchase of an additional installation kit.
