Disclosed a large-span bulk material conveying system, including a folding arm conveyor and a dike-striding elevation-type feeding conveying device. The folding arm conveyor is mainly composed of an undercarriage mounted on the ground of a stockyard, a tower body mounted on the undercarriage and provided with a gyration apparatus and a hopper, a balance arm provided with a balance trolley, a conveying arm provided with a portal frame I, a portal frame II and an unloading trolley, a tower top and other main components, wherein the balance arm, the conveying arm and the tower top are mounted on the tower body. The folding arm conveyor can rotate horizontally, and the conveying arm can be folded and retracted by controlling the wire rope by the windlass, so that the folding arm conveyor can be prevented from colliding with other devices or buildings during the rotation.

In accordance with one aspect of the present disclose, a conveyor system for a cold planer is provided. The convey system may have a first conveyor, a second conveyor, a folding mechanism, and a belt tensioner. The second conveyor may have a first and a second conveyor sections, and the second conveyor section is vertically movable relative to the first conveyor section by the folding mechanism from a folded to an unfolded position, and while in the unfolded position.

A draper belt assembly for an agricultural harvester that includes a first roller, a second roller, and a draper belt surrounding the first and second rollers. The draper belt includes a front end, a rear end opposite the front end, and an upper surface extending from the front end to the rear end having a width substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of one of the first and second rollers. The draper belt further includes a plurality of spaced apart lugs each extending in the widthwise direction having an anterior end distal to the rear end and a posterior end proximal to the rear end, wherein the anterior end is spaced from the front end of the draper belt at least about 15 mm.

A device for separating a conveying member from a support structure includes an elongated member for engaging a portion of the conveying member, and a lever. The elongated member includes a first end and a second end. The lever is coupled to at least one end of the elongated member, and the lever includes a base end and a distal end. The lever is pivotable between a first position in which the elongated member is lowered and a second position in which the elongated member is elevated.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods of manufacturing are described that provide a drop link and associated conveying system for item transport. An example conveying system includes a telescopic side guide that includes one or more sections and a plurality of drop links each supported by respective sections. Each drop link includes an extension mechanism that movably attaches the drop link to the section. Each extension mechanism allows translation of the drop link relative the respective section of the telescopic side guide between a retracted position and an extended position in which a portion of the drop link extends at least partially beyond an outer edge of the respective section of the telescopic side guide.

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.

Support frames and rail cars include first and second side drive plates, first and second cross members connecting the respective ends of the side drive plates, third and fourth cross members connecting the side drive plates at a select distance from the first and second cross members, a coupling assembly situated at the first cross member and adapted to connect another rail car thereto, and first and second diagonal support members connected to the first cross member at an angle sufficient to substantially direct forces from the coupling assembly to the third cross member and side drive plates. The support frames and rail cars may be used for conveying bulk materials on a rail transport system.

A conveyor apparatus comprising an elongated endless flexible conveyor belt having a moulded ridged conformation on its inner surface mounted between a drive roller drum and a take up roller drum, two elongated conveyor side plates and a plurality of idle conveyor rollers, wherein the diameter of the drive roller drum and the take up roller drum is uniform throughout their length.

A separation device has a conveying channel configuration and a transport belt configuration. A conveying material can be conveyed via the conveying channel configuration on the transport belt configuration, the conveying channel configuration has differently inclined regions, and a speed cascade of the conveyed material stream can be achieved by the differently inclined regions. The separation of the conveyed material stream is improved in that the conveying channel configuration has at least one wedge groove.

A telescopic conveyor includes a conveyor boom having two or more conveyor sections adapted to be extended and retracted with respect to one another in telescopic fashion to adjust the length of the boom, wherein the two or more conveyor sections are each curved about a common axis of curvature.
