A conveyor apparatus comprising a base frame and an extendable frame, where the extendable frame is supported within the base frame and a drive assembly. The drive assembly comprises a rotatable drive mechanism which has a plurality of frame engaging portions which are arranged to engage with a plurality of drive engaging portions disposed upon a first one of the base or extendable frames such that when the drive mechanism rotates, the drive assembly is configured to displace the first one of the base or extendable frames with respect to the first between an extended state and a retracted state.

A radial conveyor has a multi-mode wheel assembly located at each side of its chassis. Each wheel assembly is movable with respect to the chassis between a non-deployed state and a deployed state. In the non-deployed state the wheel assemblies support transport of the radial conveyor. In the deployed state the wheel assemblies support radial movement of the conveyor. The wheel assemblies can also be raised and lowered with respect to the chassis. This allows the ground clearance of the chassis, and the overall height of the radial conveyor to be adjusted, as well as facilitating transition between operating modes.

The present invention relates to a portable screening and stockpiling apparatus comprising a tracked chassis; a feed system mounted to the chassis for accepting material to be screened; means for moving the feed system upwards from a substantially horizontal transport position with respect to the chassis to an inclined working position at an angle to the chassis and from the inclined position downwards to the substantially horizontal position; a screen box supported on the chassis for accepting material from the feed system, wherein the screen box comprises a first deck for screening any material fed thereinto, whereby material of relatively finer and coarser fractions is adapted respectively to pass through the first deck and across the top of the first deck, a first folding conveyor mounted on the chassis beneath the screen box and feed system to receive fines material passing through the deck of the screen box and to convey same away from a first end of the apparatus; and a second folding conveyor mounted on the chassis and associated with the screen box to receive the coarser material from the top of the deck and to convey same away from a second, opposing end of the apparatus.

A bulk storage and dispensing system has transportable silos releasably secured at bottom ends thereof to a fixed silo location on a site surface. A conveyor assembly is releasably secured to a fixed conveyor location on the site surface adjacent to the silos and includes a lower output conveyor, an upper input conveyor, a rigid upper frame, and a conveyor raising mechanism operative to raise the conveyor assembly from a lowered transport position to a raised operating position. The lower output conveyor receives granular material from each silo and discharges same at a desired location. The upper input conveyor receives granular material when in the raised operating position and directs same into each silo. Upper silo locks lock upper portions of the silos to the rigid upper frame of the conveyor assembly when the rigid upper frame is in the raised operating position.

An apparatus includes a movable conveyor belt adapted for conveying articles supported by a conveying surface in a conveying direction, the conveyor belt including guide links. Guides in the form of at least two stationary rods elongated in the conveying direction engage the guide links of the conveyor belt during conveyance. The guides may form part of a conveyor frame including connectors spaced in the conveying direction connecting to at least one upper guide and at least one lower guide without projecting between them. An elongated support may be provided for supporting the connectors, and may include at least portion curved in the conveying direction and a vertical direction.

A system, and associated method, for launching and delivering separated food product in organized groups to a robotized packaging station for the product. The system initiates the delivery via a metered hopper of food product delivering the product to a launch V-belt that aligns the product end to end. A successive singulator belt, positioned adjacent to and receiving product from the launch belt, further organizes the product into a single file alignment. An optional separator belt may follow the singulator belt to create gaps between successive product units. The product is then delivered to a pick belt for product to be provided to the packaging robot. The system product information is from a single (per product delivery line) sensor, enabling intergrated end-to-end control from hopper to robot, and a nearly continuous motion of said pick belt.

A transfer system for diagnosing a vehicle is provided. The system includes a conveyor that moves the vehicle and a transfer unit that is disposed an input or an output side of the conveyor to move the vehicle into a diagnosing region for vehicle diagnosis. The transfer unit includes a guide rail disposed in both sides of the diagnosing region and a moving body disposed along the guide rail. Swing arms are rotatably connected with a forward and a rear side of the moving body and are concentrated inward to be disposed forward and rearward of a lower portion of a tire. Free rollers are rotatably disposed at each swing arm concentrated inward to clamp the tire. A swing arm driving unit provides a driving force so that the swing arms are concentrated inward or unfolded outward. A moving body moving unit moves the moving body along the guide rail.

A system includes a robot configured to load and/or unload from a location, such as a cargo carrier or building. The robot includes a base unit that has a transport system to move the base unit. A mast extends from the base unit, and the mast has a mast conveyor. An End of Arm Tool (EoAT) is coupled to the mast. The EoAT includes an EoAT conveyor configured to move a cargo item to and from the mast conveyor. A gripper mechanism is configured to move between a retracted position where the gripper mechanism is clear of the cargo item on the EoAT conveyor and an extended position where the gripper mechanism is able to grip the cargo item.

A cryogenic freezer includes a plurality of conveyor rail supports that rest upon side walls of a lower housing of the freezer. The conveyor rail supports include upper and lower bars that support upper and lower conveyor support rails extending perpendicular to the bars.
