SYSTEM FOR STORING, TRANSPORTING AND DISPENSING WET SAND TO A HYDRAULIC FRACTURING OPERATION AT A WELL SITE

Described is a system for conveying wet sand. The system includes containers with a slip coating for storing wet sand. Each container includes an outlet formed in a bottom portion to facilitate removal of the wet sand from the container to a hopper. Each hopper has end walls, side walls, and an interior wall extending at an angle from the top to the bottom of the hopper to reduce an area of the outlet. A flow gate over the outlet controls discharge of the wet sand from the hopper onto a conveyor belt of a conveyor system. The hopper also includes a vibration system coupled to its exterior surface for shaking the hopper to assist in releasing sand. A discharge assembly is located at the end of the conveyor system for directing wet sand from the conveyor belt.

Commercial hopper grain bin assembly method

A commercial hopper grain bin shell can be assembled on a concrete pad using jacks to successively support previously coupled side-wall panel rings above the concrete pad. The assembled shell can be supported above the concrete pad with the jacks while coupling a horizontal support beam around a bottom of the assembled commercial hopper grain bin shell. An uppermost ring of vertical support legs can be coupled to the horizontal support beam. An uppermost ring of hopper panels can be coupled to the horizontal support beam. The assembled shell and the vertical support legs previously coupled to the horizontal support beam can be successively supported above the concrete pad with jacks while coupling an additional ring of vertical support legs to the bottom of the previously coupled vertical support legs. An additional ring of hopper panels can be successively coupled to the bottom of the previously coupled hopper panels.

Supply device, retrofit kit for a vibration feeder as well as a manufacturing method and an operation method for the supply device

A supply device with which elements in disordered form, in particular connection elements as bulk elements, are suppliable to a second receiving volume. The supply device includes a first receiving container from which, via an outlet opening, a plurality of elements is deliverable to a second receiving container. The second receiving container may consist of an oscillation feeder. The oscillation energy of the oscillation feeder is specifically transmitted onto the elements, which are stored in the first receiving container. With the help of the transmitted oscillations, elements are transferred from the first receiving container via a transfer zone from the first receiving container into the second receiving container.
