Embodiments disclosed herein include a portable radial stacker for stockpiling bulk material. The stacker may include a linear conveyor having a rear portion including a hopper, and a front portion, the conveyor being designed to carry bulk material along an elevating path from a low position adjacent the rear portion to a higher position adjacent the front portion. The hopper may be pivotally mounted to the conveyor at a pivot point, with at least one hopper arm extending between the hopper and the conveyor rearward of the pivot point. The at least one hopper arm may include at least one hopper hydraulic cylinder to extend and retract the effective length of the hopper arm to raise and lower a rear end of the hopper to modify a degree of elevation of the hopper.

The present invention is a new method to efficiently reclaim cement from a horizontal warehouse. This new reclaiming method combines a mechanical cement reclaiming machine, together with a reduced amount of open air slides. Material is fluidized through a porous media with low pressure air. Material flow is achieved by sloping the Air slide conveyor to match the fluidized angle of repose of the powdered material. Further, the present invention introduces a conveying system, comprising a cascade of open and enclosed air slides and elevator machines, to convey the cement from the reclaiming area to a dispatch hopper. The introduction of these components, together with cement stacking and dispatch systems, is a Fully Automated Cement Horizontal Storage system and method.

A road-making machine is provided in the form of a road-finishing machine for producing a paving layer from a laying material or a charger vehicle for supplying the road-finishing machine with a laying material. The road-making machine comprises a material bunker, and a pushing means fixed forward of the material bunker at a chassis, such that pushing rollers of the pushing means may dock to rear tires of a truck. The pushing rollers comprise a pair of first pushing rollers mountable in a first position in a seat of a traverse of the pushing means. Either the pushing means is expandable by at least one changeable attachment to which the first pushing rollers may be mounted in a second position further forward with respect to the first position, or the pushing means comprises a pair of second pushing rollers which may be selectively positioned forward of the first pushing rollers.

An enclosed belt conveyor system has a rail track (1) and spaced apart 50 carriages (35) that run on wheels (40) supported by the trail track. A continuous carry belt (10) is supported by the carriages (35) and has an enclosed configuration where the carry belt (10) encloses a bulk material for transport by the system. One or more belt 60 guides (45) are positioned along the rail track (1) and engage the continuous carry belt to 10 maintain it in its enclosed configuration.

A quick fastener in a conveying device that conveys goods detachably secures a profile element to a base support of the conveying device's machine frame.

A bulk material shipping conveyor including a support assembly, a housing connected to the support assembly, a conveyor belt assembly partially positioned in the housing, a motor assembly coupled to the conveyor belt assembly, a hopper assembly including a receiving assembly including a plurality of walls and at least one movable flap extending above at least one of the plurality of walls, a gate assembly including a door movable between an open position and a closed position, and a transition assembly including a plurality of spaced apart conveyor supports, wherein at least one of the spaced apart conveyor supports is rotated relative to a longitudinal axis of the housing.

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 container packer system includes a transfer base, which receives a container packer adapted for movement longitudinally between retracted and extended positions with respect to the transfer base. The transfer base includes a power subsystem with a motor or engine driving a hydraulic pump for powering hydraulic piston-and-cylinder units of the system, including a container packer piston-and-cylinder unit for hydraulically extending and retracting the container packer. The container packer generally encloses an interior adapted for receiving bulk material for transfer to a transport container, which can comprise a standard shipping container, a trailer or some other bulk material receptacle. The container packer includes a push blade assembly longitudinally movably mounted in its interior and actuated by a push blade piston-and-cylinder unit.

A crop input transfer system for transferring a crop input to an implement tank supported on an implement dispensing the crop input, the crop input transfer system includes a mobile supply vehicle powered independent of the implement. The mobile supply vehicle has a boom and a supply tank holding a crop input supply. The crop transfer system includes a coupler with a first coupler portion that matingly couples with a second coupler portion. The first coupler portion is mounted to the boom and the second coupler portion is mounted to the implement. The crop input supply in the supply tank is communicated to implement tank via the matingly coupled first and second coupler portions.

Disclosed is a system for transferring fuel pellets from a location external to a building to a location in an interior of the building. The system includes a first container positioned at a location remote from the building and a second container positioned proximate an exterior portion of the building. The first and second containers are connected to one another to permit the transfer of fuel pellets from the first container to the second container by a pneumatic apparatus. The second container is also connected with the interior of the building to permit the transfer of fuel pellets from the second container to the interior of said building.
