TRIPPER CONNECTOR APPARATUS AND CONVEYOR APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME
A mobile bridge conveyor has a frame that moveable supports it on the ground and a first moveable belt the moves to transport material. A tripper device is positioned thereon for movement along at least a portion of the frame of the mobile bridge conveyor for inclining a portion of the moveable belt of the mobile bridge conveyor. A cross conveyor having a frame that moveably supports the cross conveyor on the ground includes a second moveable belt. The tripper device is coupled to the cross conveyor via a tripper connector apparatus that moveably connects the tripper device to the frame of the cross conveyor such that the frame of the cross conveyor is moveably connected to an upper end of the tripper device such that the cross conveyor is moveable about multiple different axes via the tripper connector apparatus.
IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO THE STACKING AND RECLAIMING OF BULK MATERIALS
The present disclosure relates to equipment for handling bulk materials. In a particular form, the present disclosure relates to equipment for use in stockpiling grains in a bulk storage system of the type commonly referred to as a bunker, although its application is not so limited. In one aspect, there is provided a mobile stacker and reclaimer combination comprising a mobile stacker, and a mobile reclaimer which is movable independently to the mobile stacker, wherein in use, the mobile reclaimer simultaneously collects a bulk material and feeds this to the mobile stacker.

System and method for uninterrupted flow stacking with mobile conveyors
A material handling methodology for forming cells of material includes a series of mobile telescoping conveyors feeding a mobile bridge conveyor and mobile radial stacker using a set of mobile bridge transfer conveyors. The method involves transferring material from an infeed point to a cell area in a systematic manner that allows for stacking each cell continuously with no interruption to material flow.

MODULAR STORAGE BIN SWEEP SYSTEM
A modular storage bin sweep system utilizing paddles to sweep particulate matter across a floor may comprise a sweep assembly including at least two units connectable together. The assembly may comprise a plurality of interconnected paddles, a power unit configured to the paddles, a drive unit configured to move the sweep assembly with respect to a surface of the bin below the sweep assembly. In some embodiments, a traction enhancement structure may increase traction of the drive unit on the floor. In some embodiments, a pivot unit is configured to permit a degree of pivotability of the axes of the units with respect to each other, and may be combined with a drive unit. In some embodiments, the power unit includes a rotary electrical power transfer structure configured to transfer electrical power to the power unit when rotating in the bin.
Pneumatic conveyance leveling system
An exemplary system for filling a holding tank with agricultural product generally includes a supply line. The supply line includes an inlet, a plurality of outlets, and a plurality of junctions. The inlet is connected with a conveyance device such that the supply line is operable to receive a flowing agricultural product blown by the conveyance device. The outlets are open to a holding space of the holding tank, and includes a first outlet and a second outlet. The plurality of junctions includes a first junction associated with the first outlet, and a second junction associated with the second outlet. The first junction is configured to direct agricultural product to flow out of the first outlet until the first outlet becomes blocked, and to thereafter direct agricultural product to flow toward the second junction. The second junction is configured to direct agricultural product to flow out of the second outlet.
