An agricultural conveyor is provided. The agricultural conveyor includes a self-propelled chassis. A conveyor is carried by the self-propelled chassis. The front end of the conveyor is configured to be raised and lowered automatically.

A high angle conveyor includes a frame, a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, and a pressing assembly configured to press the first conveyor belt toward the second conveyor belt. The pressing assembly includes a bracket pivotally coupled to the frame, a roller support pivotally coupled to the bracket at a pivot joint, a plurality of rollers coupled to the roller support, the plurality of rollers configured to engage the first conveyor belt, and a deflector configured to inhibit contact between the first conveyor belt and the pivot joint.

In a walking floor conveyor, an arrangement of panels lined longitudinally in a side-by-side fashion are organized into at least two correlating groups of panels. At least two panels within each group. Each panel grouping is propelled and retracted in a reciprocating manner, each by a hydraulic cylinder. The panels comprising wheel receptacles underneath the panels and at least one wheel fitted within a wheel receptacle to allow for forward and backward movement along a wheel support beam. These reciprocating panels supported by a series of wheel support beams, interior support beams and side support beams. These side support beams are at their tallest in the back and shortest in the front to provide a slant allowing for a flow of cargo and liquid runoff captured within a plurality of panel drains located between the panels towards a frontally placed auger designed for the assistance of cargo discharge.

A supply device for feeding of goods to be transported to a conveyor device has at least one conveyor belt (9) that extends around two deflection pulleys (4) of the supply device. The at least one conveyor belt (9) has, on its inner side (21), a guide strip (23) arranged approximately along a feed direction (13), and has a bed (11) for guiding the at least one conveyor belt (9) between the two deflection pulleys (4) by a guide groove (19) for the guide strip (23). The bed (11) has a base table (22) and at least one guiding device (20) attached to the base table (22). The guide groove (19) is formed at least partially by the at least one guiding device (20).

An auger assembly for a farm implement, in which the auger assembly includes a first auger section having a first auger shaft that rotates in a conveying direction about a longitudinal axis of the first auger section and a second auger section having a second auger shaft that rotates about a longitudinal axis of the second auger section. The auger assembly includes a first auger coupling portion that includes a drive hub and a lobe. The auger assembly includes a second auger coupling portion that includes a sleeve, which receives the drive hub such that the drive hub is rotatably engaged with the sleeve. The auger assembly includes a drive pin secured to the second auger coupling portion and a latch arm that pivots in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the second auger section between an engaged position and a disengaged position.

This invention relates to improvements to a weighbridge belt scale, used in combination with a conveyor system, that incorporates a pair of base plates, attached to an existing conveyor structure, each base plate contains two weight sensors, which connect upon riser blocks, to provide for uniform clearance between the mount base plates, and the idler mount plates, of the conveyor system. Various rod end bearings allow for minor corrections to the assembly imperfection, and various shims can be used to make sure that the overall height of the standard idler and the scale weighbridge are adjusted to a height that matches with the other idler rollers of the conveyor belt system. This provides for more precise calculation of the parameters being detected by the weight sensors, so that more accurate determination of the weight, speed, and volume of the materials being conveyed, are attained.

A compact conveyor having a primary conveyor, a feed conveyor and a hopper mounted to a mobile base. The base may be a trailer or a vehicle bed. The primary conveyor is rotatably and pivotably mounted to the base. The feed conveyor has a pivoting segment pivotably mounted to the base near the second base end and disposed at least partially beneath the hopper. An extending segment of the feed conveyor is longitudinally-movably mounted to the pivoting segment and extends toward the first primary conveyor end. An arm is mounted to the base, the extending segment and a prime mover for, upon actuation of the prime mover, displacing the extending segment longitudinally relative to the pivoting segment and simultaneously pivoting the pivoting segment relative to the base. This end of the feed conveyor moves along an arc that extends from below the primary conveyor to above the conveyor.

A tank and a method of carrying a load and discharging a load therefrom. The tank includes a tank assembly having a first wall that bounds and defines a first compartment for carrying a load therein and a second wall spaced outwardly from at least a portion of the first wall; wherein a second compartment is defined between the first wall and the second wall. The tank assembly includes an air piping system that is selectively actuated to place the first compartment and the second compartment under substantially similar or substantially equal air pressure. In one example the air piping system pumps air into the first compartment and the second compartment. In another example the air piping system evacuates air from the first and second compartments.

A tank and a method of holding a load and discharging a load therefrom. The tank includes a first wall that bounds and defines a first compartment for holding a load therein and a second wall spaced outwardly from at least a portion of the first wall; wherein a second compartment is defined between the first wall and the second wall. The tank assembly includes an air piping system that is selectively actuated to place the first compartment and the second compartment under substantially similar or substantially equal air pressure. In one example the air piping system pumps air into the first compartment and the second compartment. In another example the air piping system evacuates air from the first and second compartments.

Some examples described herein include a flexible hopper for a conveyor system. The flexible hopper may include a hopper weldment attached to a frame of the conveyor, wherein the hopper weldment surrounds a charge cud of the conveyor, a flexible frame configured to enable an opening of the flexible hopper to expand or contract, and/or a skirt attached to the flexible frame and configured to form an enclosure between the flexible frame and the hopper weldment.
