A shaker mechanism used in an agricultural machine, such as sugarcane harvesters and sweet sorghum harvesters. The shaker mechanism is configured for removing mud, dirt and plant remains accumulated in a lower protective tarpaulin of a mounting chassis of conveyor rollers and choppers of the agricultural machine. The shaker mechanism includes at least a bar having ends which are fastened on rotary support bearings. The bar is configured to stand at least partially out from an edge of the bearings forming at least a spare surface for contact with a protective tarpaulin positioned on the chassis of the machine.

The invention relates to a linear motor system, in particular a transport system, e.g. a multi-carrier, comprising: a guide track having a plurality of electromagnets arranged distributed along the guide track; at least one carrier that is guided by and movable along the guide track and that comprises a drive magnet for cooperating with the electromagnets of the guide track to move the carrier; and a control device for controlling the movement of the carrier relative to the guide track by a corresponding control of the electromagnets, wherein the control device is configured to control the carrier to perform a shaking movement.

A feeder management system includes a storage section configured to store component information including a type of a component loaded in a bulk feeder and cleaning information providing an execution history of cleaning including, as its cleaning target, at least a conveyance path along which the component is conveyed in the bulk feeder in association with the bulk feeder, and a determination section configured to determine whether the cleaning is executed before an update request for the component information is made based on the cleaning information when the update request for the component information is received.

A conveying device with a revolvingly led, extensively extended conveying element, which forms a conveying section with a conveying surface, and a return section, which is arranged below the conveying section. The conveying element is deflected in each case in two head-end regions, which are spaced from one another along the conveying direction. A wiper device for wiping foreign objects led along on the conveying surface of the conveying element is arranged in the front head-end region, in which the conveying element is deflected from the conveying section into the return section. The wiper device includes a wiper unit with a receiving blade, which runs transversely to the conveying direction, as well as a wiper blade, which is mounted on the wiper unit and forms a flexible wiper lip projecting toward the conveying element beyond the receiving blade.

Disclosed are solutions for mitigating loss of black mass in the form of fine powder produced from breaking lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) during conveyance from one point in a process (e.g., the battery breaker) to a subsequent point in the process (e.g., a separator system) by means of a conveyance such as, for example, a conveyor belt system. Implementations of such a mitigation system, broadly referred to herein as a hooded collector, may comprise several different components including a hood-structure that fully encompasses the conveyance, a brush structure for disengaging the fine powder from the surface of the conveyance, a collector element for collecting some or all of the fine powder that might otherwise be lost, a negative-pressure airflow and filter for preventing loss at loss-possible openings, and/or a variety of other components.
