Abstract: A rotating feed distributor for use in connection with rock crushers and other devices. The feed distributor comprises a platform for receiving rocks and a chute having an inlet and outlet wherein the rocks pass through. The feed distributor is designed to reduce wear by evenly distributing rocks into the crusher. The chute is supported and rotated utilizing a motor, drive belts, a sheave structure, thrust bearings and idler wheels. The sheave structure includes a flange and a face which are generally orthogonal to one another. The belts, thrust bearings and idler wheels each engage with the sheave structure.
