The linkage includes a first coupler, a second coupler and two rockers, where two ends of the first coupler are rotationally coupled to two ends of the second coupler, respectively, via the rockers. The elastic mechanism is arranged between the conveying platform and the lifting belt, where one end of the elastic mechanism is connected to the first coupler, and the other end of the elastic mechanism is pressed by the lifting belt. The limit switch is arranged on the second coupler. The self-locking mechanism is arranged on the conveying platform and capable of locking and securing the conveying platform to a frame of the lifting transport apparatus.

An adjustable auger assembly for a trencher including an auger housing and a position attachment assembly. The auger housing having a central auger tube having a first end and a discharge end opposite the first end. An auger shaft is positioned within the auger tube and is rotatable relative to the central auger tube. At least one material inlet is positioned one of at the first end and between the first end and the discharge end. The position attachment assembly has a first component member coupled to the trencher, and a second component member coupled to the auger housing. The first component member is movably positionable relative to the second component member, to, in turn, adjust the position of the auger housing relative to the trencher.

A mineral material processing plant includes a frame, and a crusher and a screen which are supported on the frame, and a conveyor which is, in an operation position, arranged to discharge material which is fed into the plant to said crusher or screen. The conveyor includes separate first conveyor and second conveyor which are connectable successively to a transport connection, and the first conveyor is arranged to be moved to a transport position mainly to a first side of the crusher, and the second conveyor is fixed above the screen to be moved with the screen to the transport position mainly to a second side of the crusher. A method for operating a processing plant is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a machine (8) for processing and/or packaging objects, said machine having an essentially horizontal conveying section (10) for conveying articles, packages, and/or packaging units, which conveying section (10) comprises a first horizontal conveying device (14) with at least one conveying means (15) for a first operating mode, which horizontal conveying device (14) can be replaced by a further horizontal conveying device (24) with at least one second conveying means (25) that is different from the first conveying means (15) in order to establish at least one further operating mode. The invention also relates to a method for modifying a conveying section (10) of a machine (8) for processing and/or packaging objects, wherein articles, packages, and/or packaging units are conveyed essentially horizontally on the conveying section (10) by means of a first horizontal conveying device (14) with at least one conveying means (15) in a first operating mode, and wherein at least one further operating mode is established by replacing the first horizontal conveying device (14) with a further horizontal conveying device (24) comprising at least one second conveying means (25) which is different from the first conveying means (15).

According to one embodiment, a transfer apparatus includes a base, a first linear motion member, a second linear motion member, a moving conveyor, an extraction arm, and a holding part. The first linear motion member is supported by the base and is movable in a first direction. The second linear motion member is supported by the first liner motion member and is movable in a second direction crossing the first direction. The moving conveyor is supported by the second linear motion member and includes a belt for conveying an article. The extraction arm is provided on a side of the moving conveyor, extracts the article and places the article on the belt. The holding part is provided at an end of the extraction arm and holds the article.

A bulk material loading wagon (1) for incorporation into a loading train consisting of several such wagons has a storage box (3) for storing bulk material, the storage box being open at the top and fastened to a wagon frame (2), andassociated with the storage boxa bottom conveyor belt (5) extending in the lower region of the storage box (3) and in the longitudinal direction of the wagon. The wagon frame (2) is equipped with an opening (16), arranged between two adjacent on-track undercarriages (14), for passage of a lower section adjoining the lower deflection end (9)of a transfer conveyor belt (8). A drive (18) is provided for displacement of the transfer conveyor belt (8) in its conveying- or longitudinal direction (4) through the opening (18) relative to the wagon frame (2).

A support (2) of a track floor conveyor (1), including a hollow profile (3), of which at least one hollow space (4) is enclosed by a wall (5), in which the wall (5), on the side adjoining the track (11), has at least one groove-shaped depression in which the axle or the axle bearing (9) of one or more wheels (8) can be accommodated, and the wall (5) has a recess (7) for at least a part of a wheel (8).

Warehouse automation and methods of handling materials can be used to make depalletization processes more safe and efficient. In some examples, the depalletization systems can include a U-shaped platform lift that supports one or more workers and that defines a location for a pallet of boxes to be unloaded or depalletized. The U-shaped platform lift can be raised and/or lowered to position the workers at the optimal elevations for transferring, with minimal lifting, the boxes from the pallet to a system of conveyors. Such systems are also reconfigurable in multiple ways to further minimize the manual lifting required for the depalletization process as well as the throughput of the depalletization process.
