A portable drive-over conveyor for unloading particulate material from trucks features a towable trailer supporting a conveyor system having two stages, each transferring the unloaded material in opposite directions along a length of the trailer so as to progressively elevate the particulate material to a suitable height above the ground for discharging from the portable drive-over conveyor. A first stage of the conveyor system transfers the material in one direction from an inlet of the conveyor system to a transfer discharge, whereat the unloaded material is transferred to the second stage transferring the material in an opposite direction to a discharge of the overall conveyor system which is located at a higher elevation than the transfer discharge.

A transporter includes: a first conveyor to receive an object, the first conveyor to convey the object in a first direction; and a second conveyor to receive the object from the first conveyor and to convey the object, the second conveyor being movable in position in a second direction that crosses the first direction, the second direction being a substantially vertical direction.

Provided is a portable conveying system mounted on a class 5 operable pickup truck rolling chassis with engine and transmission components for conveying material to a desired site comprising, a hydraulically operated telescopable conveying unit of a plurality of individual sections nesting in each other or extending out from each other when telescoping and an internal extendable and retractable conveying belt situated within said telescoping conveying unit, and operated manually or remotely controlled by PTO function of the pickup truck chassis engine, and wherein said individual telescoping sections are moveable relative to each other by sliding on polymeric slidable surfaces.

A transfer conveyor for food process lines is equipped with hardware to enable pivoting in place and other hardware to enable and reversible expansion and contraction of the transfer conveyor, or at least the upper, food-product carrying run of the endless conveyor belt therefor.

A transfer device for introducing and/or removing articles to a process device includes a basic frame and a conveying unit, which is supported by the basic frame and transfers or receives articles to or from the process device. The conveying unit is designed to be movably positionable in order for the transfer device to be reversibly advanced up to the process device. The conveying unit includes an output element of a magnetic coupling and is designed for reversibly coupling the transfer device to a corresponding drive element of the magnetic coupling, the drive element being provided on the process device. When the drive element and the output element are coupled to one another, the magnetic coupling effectuates a force transmission from a drive unit of the process device to the conveying unit.

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 tubular transfer system is disclosed which includes a trough coupled between a pair of lifting apparatus, a base member coupled to each of the pair of lifting apparatus, a first adjustment device disposed on the pair of lifting apparatus for adjusting a presentation angle of the trough, and a second adjustment device coupled to the base member and a portion of each of the pair of lifting apparatus for adjusting a presentation height of the trough.

A material processing device includes a conveyor belt for transporting material from or to a material processing unit. The conveyor belt is swivel connected to a machine body by an articulated link, wherein the conveyor belt can be moved from a folded-down working position into a folded-up transport position by an actuating unit and the articulated link. The articulated link is part of an actuating mechanism which guides a proximal free end of the of the conveyor belt during the swiveling motion from the folded-down working position to the folded-up transport position in such a way that the proximal end of the conveyor belt is swiveled and raised against the direction of gravity.

A conveyor module (1), adapted to be releasably attached to at least one other conveyor module (1) to form a conveyor assembly (15). Each conveyor module (1) includes a substantially longitudinal main frame (4), said main frame (4) being adjustable in between a first position (FIG. 3), in which said module (1) is compacted for transportation, and, a second position (FIG. 4), in which said module (1) is expanded for conveyor operation. A plurality of support legs (17) is provided to support said conveyor module (1) upon a substrate surface, each support leg being adjustable to facilitate adjustable alignment of said module (1). Conveyor componentry (12) is housed substantially within said main frame (1). The conveyor module (1) is preferably formed from or built to standardised shipping container (ISO) specifications.

A conveyor belt (1) comprising a longitudinal self-supporting conveyor belt (3), a plurality of belt support stations (5) each of which comprises a base (7), a tower (9) fixed on the base (7) and belt support devices (11) fixed on the tower (9), characterized in that at least some support stations (5) comprise devices (13) to move the stations, and in that the belt support devices (11) are fixed on the tower (9) at a height above the ground greater than one meter.
