A distribution system for storing and conveying a supply of material is described. The distribution system includes a bin for storing and conveying a supply of material. The bin includes a housing defining an internal chamber configured to receive the material, at least one outlet configured to direct the material from the bin, a plate defining a lower end of the internal chamber and supporting and directing the material to the at least one outlet, an agitation device attached to the plate, and a gasket disposed between the plate and the housing.

An apparatus that conveys pellet-shaped articles may include a hopper that receives a quantity of the pellet-shaped articles. The hopper may include one or more openings to direct a flow of air into the hopper to dislodge jamming or bridging of pellet-shaped articles within the hopper.

A proppant metering and loading apparatus for a hydraulic fracturing blender unit is provided. A continuous loop conveyor belt receives proppant from a source location on the blender, such as a hopper, and delivers the proppant to a blender device of the blender. A measurement device (e.g. weigh scale) measures and provides an indication of amount (e.g. weight, volume and/or density) of the proppant delivered to the blender device by the conveyor belt.

A pulse cleaning system for disinfecting untreated grains and pulses. The pulse cleaning system comprises an outer body, a top end, a top outer edge, a bottom end, and a conveyor. The pulse cleaning system is useful in cleaning a dry commodity by inserting the dry commodity into the top end, cleaning the dry commodity within the outer body, releasing the dry commodity at the bottom end, and collecting the dry commodity on the conveyor. The outer body comprises a top opening at the top end, and a bottom opening at the bottom end. each among one or more exterior burner assemblies and an interior chamber strip burner is configured to create variable flame according to an end user's preference, or according to amounts of a fuel provided. after treatment by the pulse cleaning system, the dry commodity is referred to as a treated grains and pulses.

A bulk material tender is described. The bulk material tender includes a hopper. The hopper includes one or more side walls defining a top opening and a bottom opening. The bulk material may also include a frame connected to and supporting the hopper. The bulk material tender may also include a rotary airlock for receiving material from the hopper. The bulk material tender may also include a pneumatic conveyor coupled to the rotary airlock for conveying the material to a desired location. The bulk material tender may also include a slide gate valve between the rotary airlock and the hopper. The bulk material tender may also include support legs and jacks for self-loading and self-unloading from a vehicle.

A collapsible storage system for flowable material, for example granular material, includes a base frame and an upper frame which is movable between a collapsed position and a working position spaced above the collapsed position. A plurality of storage silos are supported in a row, each including a hopper discharge cone on the base frame and a collapsible tubular wall assembly connected between the discharge cone and the upper frame. Redundant loading conveyors are provided in communication with the silos across the upper frame for loading and redundant unloading conveyors are provided in communication with the silos across the base frame.
