An accessory configured to be connected to a self-propelled landscaping device. The accessory includes a frame that is releasably connectable to the device. The accessory includes a hopper supported on the frame and configured to hold bulk material in an interior area thereof. The hopper includes an upper opening for receiving bulk material and a lower opening for discharging the material. A conveyor extends below the hopper. The conveyor is selectively operative to move bulk material discharged from the lower opening in a first direction toward a conveyor first end or in a second direction toward a conveyor second end. A spreader is configured to engage and propel bulk material that is discharged at the conveyor first end. A conveyor extension is movably mounted on the frame and that includes an outward end that is selectively positionable outward in the second direction. Material delivered from the conveyor second end is movable on the conveyor extension and discharged at the outward end.

20180243796 · 2018-08-30 ·

An apparatus for washing and grading sand and aggregate includes a first multi-deck screen and a sump for collecting undersize material from the plurality of decks. A first set of hydrocyclones receives undersize material and water from the sump of the first screen. A second screen has a deck for producing at least one sand product and a sump beneath the deck, the deck of the second screen receiving an underflow from each cyclone of the first set of hydrocyclones. A second set of hydrocyclones receives undersize material and water from the sump of the second vibratory screen. The deck of a third screen receives an underflow from each cyclone of the second set of hydrocyclones. A further hydrocyclone receives undersize material and water from the sump of the third screen, and an underflow from the further hydrocyclone is delivered onto the deck of the third screen.

Oscillatory feeder
10040637 · 2018-08-07 · ·

An oscillatory feeder operable to convey a flowable solid material has a tubular body and a displaceable body segment. The tubular body has at least one first end, at least one second end opposite the first end and a displaceable body segment between the first and second ends. The displaceable body segment has a first fixable location positionable at a first fixed location and a second fixable location positionable at a second fixed location. The actuator is attached to the displaceable body segment and controllable to cause selected displacement of the body segment and attached actuator and corresponding selected flow of solid material within the displaceable body segment in a feed direction extending generally from the first end to the second end.

Conveyor transition for material handling

An assembly for directing bulk material from an upper conveyor to a lower conveyor is provided. The conveyors are relatively rotatable in yaw and the lower conveyor is pivotable in pitch. The assembly includes an upper hood portion, a vertical flow cone, and a bottom containment assembly. The upper hood portion redirects material from the upper conveyor downward through an exit aperture. The vertical flow cone underneath the upper hood portion is rotatable in yaw relative to the upper hood portion and is movable vertically relative to the upper hood portion. The vertical flow cone directs the bulk material from the exit aperture toward the lower conveyor. The bottom containment assembly is mounted to the lower conveyor, is movable lengthwise relative to the lower conveyor, is pivotable and movable vertically relative to the upper hood portion, and includes an aperture for receiving the material.
