A single drive dual hopper conveyor system is presented having a center conveyor system and a pair of side conveyor systems that are connected to one another. A single motor is connected to the center conveyor system and drives movement of a belt within the center conveyor system. The connection of the center conveyor system to the side conveyor system causes the belts of the side conveyor systems to be simultaneously driven as the belt of the center conveyor system is driven. This arrangement eliminates the need for multiple motors. A guide at the center of the belts is configured to guide the belts through the center of the housings and prevent the buildup of grain within a cut-out section of the flights of the belt that is needed to allow access to the links of the belts to facilitate driving of the belts.

Provided is an improved animal feed distribution system and components, specifically tube belt conveyor system, that provides more efficient manner of delivering feed to the animals, such as poultry by using tube conveyor belt to distribute feed in a re-circulating loop.

A portable conveyor system receives and conveys particulate material to downstream equipment. The system includes a base frame, a material handling assembly carried on the base frame for depositing the material into the downstream equipment, and at least one adjustable feed conveyor to convey the material from a source onto the material handling assembly. The feed conveyor is movable in various manners relative to the base frame between a working position and a stored position. The material handling assembly includes a main conveyor assembly to convey material along the base frame from the feed conveyors to an elevating assembly at one end of the base frame. The elevating assembly is collapsible in height relative to the base frame for transport.

A loose component supply device including component support member 150 configured to support components in a scattered state; and component supply apparatus 88 configured to store components and discharge components towards the component support member from discharge opening 98, wherein, in the component supply apparatus, conveyor belt 112 is arranged between storage section 100 that stores components and a discharge opening so as to extend diagonally upwards from the storage section on the side on which the discharge section is provided. Components housed in the housing section are discharged from the discharge opening towards the component support member by being conveyed by the conveyor belt. The component supply apparatus is removably mounted on the mounting section. Thus, because components are not discharged from the discharge opening unless the conveyor is operated, components do not fall from the discharge opening when the component supply apparatus is mounted on or removed from the mounting section.

A precipitation and conveyor operated electrical generation system has a conveyor system, at least one electrical generator, and at least one storage container. Each electrical generator is operatively connected to the conveyor system, such at each electrical generator is operated through motion of the conveyor system. The conveyor system may have multiple conveyor tracks, each having a plurality of conveyor containers that are distributed along, connected to, and configured to circuitously traverse about their corresponding conveyor track. At least one dispensing container of the at least one storage container is configured to receive a quantity of precipitation and dispense the quantity of precipitation into one of the conveyor tracks of the conveyor system. The dispensed precipitation causes motion of the conveyor system and operation of the at least one electrical generator.

A device conveying a solid material into a radially-arranged stockpile. The device has a trailer chassis, with at least one wheeled axle at a first end thereof and, at a second end thereof, means provided for attaching the chassis to a tractor in a mobile condition and for fixed mounting in an operational condition. A stacking conveyor is mounted near the first end of the chassis. A power unit for generating electrical and hydraulic power is positioned on the chassis. A feed system is mounted to the chassis and extends generally along the length thereof from the second end to the first end, to receive the solid material at the second end and transport the solid material to the stacking conveyor.
