An auxiliary generating system includes a plurality of weight members delivered repeatedly by a conveying device. The weight members are delivered upward by the conveying device to the upper end of a hollow conduit, then pass through the hollow conduit, then fall into multiple carrying grooves of a rotating wheel to rotate the rotating wheel and are then dropped onto the conveying device. When the rotating wheel is rotated, a gearbox and a generator are driven to operate. When the generator reaches a determined rotation speed, the generator produces an electric power.

A control system, apparatus, and method for controlling operations of a milling machine are described. Data corresponding to a ventilation mode and a conveyor delay amount set by an operator of the milling machine is stored in memory. Control of transition of operation of the milling machine from a milling mode to a standby mode is according to a first predetermined sequence of operations responsive to a first input at a control panel of the milling machine. Further, control of transition of operation of the milling machine from the standby mode to the milling mode is according to a second predetermined sequence of operations, which is in reverse order relative to the first predetermined sequence of operations, in response to the first input at the control panel.

Separating system for separating a support and a product arranged on the support. According to one embodiment the system includes conveying means adapted for receiving the product arranged on its support and for conveying the products in a first conveyance direction. The conveying means includes two product support elements separated from one another in at least one point by a width less than a width of the product (the width of the product being transverse to the first conveyance direction) and greater than the width of its support (with the width of the support being transverse to the first conveyance direction), such that the product is supported by, and conveyed on, the product support elements of the conveying means, and the support is separated from the product upon the product being supported on the product support elements.

A system for conveying proppant includes a conveyor assembly having a conveyor belt that receives proppant from one or more containers having proppant stored therein. The system also includes a conveyor auxiliary unit connected to an end of the conveyor assembly having one or more joints to enable expansion and collapse of the conveyor belt from the conveyor assembly. The system further includes a proppant chute to direct the proppant from the conveyor belt into a blending hopper, the proppant chute being positioned at a higher elevation than an inlet of the blending hopper.
