Devices and methods for reducing grain bin entrapment and grain bin spoilage
Systems and methods described herein are intended for the reduction of grain bin entrapment. A method may include coupling at least a portion of a casing housing an auger to at least a portion of an inner sidewall of a grain bin. A method may include activating a power source of the auger to cause the auger to gather grain from a bottom portion of the grain bin and convey the grain to a top portion of the grain bin, thereby reducing an amount of the grain that is attached to the inner sidewall of the grain bin.
Container for the individual release of bulk material and method of operation with a transport robot or a longitudinal conveyor
A rail-bound transport robot (20) having an approximately box-like container (1), which is open at the top, for individual release of bulk material (18), which is provided in its inner space with at least one compartment (14a, 14b), which is filled with the bulk material (18), wherein the transport robot (20) has a loading space (33) open at the top, adapted for receiving the container (1), and wherein the container (1) rests on a longitudinal conveyor (25, 66) in the transport robot (20), which engages opening lids (6a-6f) from below, which are positioned on the bottom side of container (1), wherein the bulk material (18) flows outwardly through the opening lids, when the opening lids (6a-6f) are opened.

SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COATING A PROPPANT
A system or method for adding dust control solution to a vertically falling first stream of a substantially dry sand-like particulate material, where the first stream has an effective diameter, the system or method includes a stationary, generally horizontal, deflector plate with a drop-off edge, the plate is mounted into the steam whereby the particulate material collides with the plate and cascades from the plate around the drop-off edge to create a second stream of the particulate material having the general shape of the drop-off edge with a reduced stream thickness and nozzles for spraying dust control solution into the second stream, which system or method is preferably for rapid transportation to the site for using the sand-like particular material.
Proppant supply system
A mobile proppant delivery system may include a system for unloading proppant transport trailers, storing proppant in silos, and feeding proppant to frac operations. The system may include drive-over conveyors, swiveling distribution heads, internal silo bucket elevators, gravity feed, choke filling, and bases designed with internal conveying systems.

Method of Moving Proppant from a Sand Container
A bulk material dispensing system comprising a portable support structure with portable containers with wet bulk material. Locating each portable container onto the portable support structure couples a transfer member on each portable container to a vibration device on the support structure. Vibration energy is transferred from vibration device to the portable container via the transfer member. The material dispensing system is configured to route the wet bulk material from the portable container to a blender hopper via a material routing path in response to activating the vibration device.
