A corner unit for a feed conveying system includes a housing and a wheel. The housing defines a cavity and a track. The track is configured to receive a material conveying string. The wheel is disposed at least partially within the cavity of the housing and is configured to rotate within the cavity. The housing includes a plurality of ridges protruding into the cavity. The wheel includes a central hub, an outer rim, and one or more spokes extending from a first end coupled to the central hub to a second end coupled to the outer rim. At least one of the one or more spokes is swept such that, when the wheel is rotated in a first direction, the second end trails the first end such that rotation of the wheel in the first direction sweeps material that enters the cavity from the cavity and into the track.

A drag conveyor assembly is disclosed that allows for improved functionality and connectivity to form an endless loop. The assembly includes a traction element and a plurality of slugs fixedly attached to the traction element. When any one of the slugs is split, each split slug section of the slug remains fixedly attached to the traction element. In one embodiment, each slug of the plurality of slugs includes a cutting groove. A ferrule pair is provided to attach each slug to the traction element. The cutting grooves facilitate a cutting or slicing process to split the slug into split slug sections.

A system and mechanism for bottom ash flow turndown from a hopper, through a crusher, and to a conveyor, the system including a fixed flow restrictor and a variable speed side discharge crusher to modulate bottom ash flow in the absence of gate or valve flow from a hopper.

The combine system provides a motor driven paddle system for the movement of grain from combine storage, such as a hopper, to secondary storage, including but not limited to a grain bin, truck, or grain cart. The paddles are constructed from a somewhat rigid material that enable the paddles to move the grain to the secondary storage. The paddle conveyor may be partially enclosed by a housing that protects users from accidental contact with the paddles and the paddle conveyor.

Provided is a conveyor such that, after stopping or restricting supply of granular material to a downstream device, it is possible to restart normal operation of conveying the granular material without delay. This conveyor includes: a casing having a conveying path of a granular material therein and having a discharge port for discharging the granular material to a downstream device; a plurality of conveying units accommodated in the casing and configured to convey the granular material to the discharge port by circulating along the conveying path; an opening/closing mechanism that opens and closes the discharge port; and a control unit that controls operation of the plurality of conveying units and the opening/closing mechanism. When restricting supply of the granular material to the downstream device, the control unit controls the opening/closing mechanism to close the discharge port, and continues to circulate the plurality of conveying units, thereby continuing to move the granular material along the conveying path.

A driver for use on a feed chain having elongate oval chain links that have two chain link legs. The driver is wider than the width of the chain link, so as to project beyond both sides of the chain link. The driver has a snap connector that allows the driver to be snapped onto the two chain link legs. A locking bar may be used with the driver to prevent the chain link legs from inadvertently releasing from the snap connector.
