Apparatuses and Methods for Unloading Particulate Material from a Bottom Discharge Chute of a Source Receptacle to an Elevated Inlet of a Destination Receptacle
A swing auger towable by a tractor features a main auger, and a feed auger pivotally coupled to the main auger and reaching transversely outward therefrom. One or more additional conveyors each are positioned alongside the tractor with the discharge of the conveyor(s) feeding into the feed auger, and with the conveyor hopper positioned longitudinally forward of the tractor under the bottom discharge of the trailer or other source receptacle. A stabilizing device for the main auger doubles as a lift arm for elevating the conveyor in a transport position, and may be installed with a tandem axle that compensates for angular frame variation in the working position of the main auger. Alternatively, a novel auger frame is pivotally coupled to the inlet end of the man auger, remains parallel to the ground regardless of the main auger's position, and is equipped with a hitch connector and rear stabilizer arms.
Dry-bulk tanker, conveying system for a dry-bulk tanker, work train and method for conveying binding agents for a work train
A dry-bulk tanker for the provision of binding agent for soil stabilization for a spreading device, comprising a storage container (10) for binding agent. An intermediate chamber (20) is connected to the storage container and is also connected to a compression chamber (40). A conveying device (22) for conveying of binding agent into the compression chamber (40) is arranged in the intermediate chamber (20). A conveying channel (44) is connected to the compression chamber (40). The conveying channel (44) can be connected to a spreading device (58). Furthermore, a pneumatic line (46) for feeding of conveying compressed air is connected to the compression chamber (40) and/or the conveying channel (44).
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SHARING A PAYLOAD BETWEEN TWO VEHICLES
One or more embodiments of a device and a method are disclosed for sharing a payload. The device comprises an interior shell receiving therein a vehicle and comprising at least one payload receiving unit suitable for receiving a corresponding payload; an outside shell surrounding the interior shell and comprising at least one opening for transferring a payload between inside and outside of the outside shell; a securing member located for securing the outside shell with a mating member located on another device; a controllable biasing member connected to the interior shell and to the outside shell and operable between a biasing state and a free state wherein the interior shell is moveable with respect to the outside shell and wherein a transfer of is achieved by operating the biasing member in the free state, moving the interior shell with respect to the outside shell and transferring the payload.

Radial stacking conveyor system with feeder
A device conveying a solid material into a radially-arranged stockpile. The device has a trailer chassis, with at least one wheeled axle at a first end thereof and, at a second end thereof, means provided for attaching the chassis to a tractor in a mobile condition and for fixed mounting in an operational condition. A stacking conveyor is mounted near the first end of the chassis. A power unit for generating electrical and hydraulic power is positioned on the chassis. A feed system is mounted to the chassis and extends generally along the length thereof from the second end to the first end, to receive the solid material at the second end and transport the solid material to the stacking conveyor.
