Grain storehouse and grain loading method thereof
A grain storehouse includes a granary, a grain loading system, and a grain unloading system. The granary includes multiple storages arranged in a network format. The bottom of each storage is a tapered structure with a tapered surface downward, and the bottom of the tapered structure provides a switchable blanking exit. The grain loading system includes a lattice girder structure, a plurality of conveyors and multiple hoppers. The grain unloading system includes at least one conveyor that is located under the blanking exit. The present invention improves the automaticity and efficiency of grain loading and unloading of the grain storehouse, so that the grain can be transferred quickly.
Systems and methods for filling a proppant silo
A system includes a base configured to be positioned on a ground. The base includes a first conveyor configured to convey a granular material. The system also includes a derrick coupled to the base. The derrick is configured to be oriented substantially horizontally when the system is in a folded state. The derrick is configured to be oriented substantially vertically when the system is in an unfolded state. The derrick includes a second conveyor configured to receive the granular material from the first conveyor and to convey the granular material. The system also includes a first arm coupled to the derrick. The first arm includes a third conveyor configured to receive the granular material from the second conveyor and to convey the granular material.

SOLIDS TRANS-LOADING
A method and system for trans-loading solid particulates from a hopper to a storage container, by clamping a trough (110) to a discharge gate of the hopper, the trough having an open top, sides, and a bottom, a vacuum pipe (140) extending into the trough, and at least one aerator (150) located on the trough, to which is provided an aerating gas. The method further comprises at least partially evacuating the storage container to cause at least a partial vacuum therein and drawing a vacuum through a conveyor hose connected to the trough.

Control device, granular material supply system, control method, and program
In a granular material supply system including a tank that stores granular material, a carrier line through which the granular material flowing out of the tank is carried to a carrier destination, and a cutout line that connects the tank and the carrier line and through which the granular material flowing out of the tank is supplied to the carrier line, a control device includes a density control unit configured to control a density of the granular material on a downstream side of a junction of the cutout line and the carrier line to a set value predetermined and a flow rate control unit configured to control a flow rate of the granular material to be supplied to the carrier destination through the carrier line to a command value instructed by the carrier destination.

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 having an approximately box-like container, which is open at the top, for individual release of bulk material, which is provided in its inner space with at least one compartment, which is filled with the bulk material, wherein the transport robot has a loading space open at the top, adapted for receiving the container, and wherein the container rests on a longitudinal conveyor in the transport robot, which engages opening lids from below, which are positioned on the bottom side of container, wherein the bulk material flows outwardly through the opening lids, when the opening lids are opened.

Conveying systems
A conveying system for conveying a conveyable material from a hopper where the system includes a fluid port located below the hopper outlet and in a vertical flow path into hopper outlet that can be momentarily opened for an on the go release of a charge of compressed air directly upward into the hopper outlet and into the underside of the bridge in the hopper to either disintegrate or unlock the bridged particles from each other thereby causing the bridged material to fall into the hopper outlet and into the conveying system where the material can be transported to a remote location or to remove any material that may be adhering to the wall during an emptying phase.
