    Abstract: A conveyor apparatus comprising a base frame and an extendable frame, wherein the extendable frame is supported by, and typically within, the base frame. A drive assembly configured to displace the extendable frame with respect to the base frame between an extended state and a retracted state. The extendable frame comprises a plurality of frame parts in an end-to-end arrangement, the at least two adjacent frame parts are pivotably coupled together for pivoting about a transverse axis that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the extendable frame.

    Abstract: A system has a surge bin, a distribution conveyor assembly, an elevating conveyor assembly, and a receiving conveyor assembly. The surge bin has an internal storage compartment, a top input opening, and a bottom output opening. The distribution conveyor assembly has a distribution frame attached at an input end thereof to an upper portion of the surge bin, and a distribution conveyor mounted on the distribution frame. The elevating conveyor assembly has an elevating conveyor configured to receive granular material at an elevating input and discharge the received granular material selectively to the top input opening of the surge bin or to the distribution conveyor input. The receiving conveyor assembly has a receiving station configured to receive granular material from a discharge of a transport vehicle, and a receiving conveyor operative to transfer the received granular material from the receiving station into the elevating input.

    Abstract: A Pneumatic Bulk Container (PBC) includes a tank body configured to carry bulk product and further configured to form an airtight seal to hold pressurized air and an input port for receiving pressurized air. An air line coupled to the input port for receiving pressured air from the air input port and for conducting the pressurized air into the PBC is coupled to a three inch jet line that produces a greater volume and lower pressure air into an output port. At least one inflatable air slide coupled to receive pressured air from the air line for fluidizing and pushing the bulk product towards the four inch diameter output port.

    Abstract: A pressurized tank is provided in which no air flows back from a piping for conveying powder to the pressurized tank. A pressurized tank (A) is used for a device (B) for intermittently feeding a predetermined amount of powder to a piping (7) for conveying the powder when the powder is conveyed in a plug flow through the piping (7) by means of compressed air. The tank (A) has a first pressurized room (6) that is a pressure vessel and that has a funnel-shaped upper partition (3) that has an opening and a funnel-shaped lower partition (4) that also has an opening, a first check valve (9) that is provided beneath the opening of the upper partition (3) of the first pressurized room (6) and is vertically moved so as to be upwardly moved by means of compressed air to close the opening of the upper partition (3), a second check valve (10) that is provided beneath the opening of the lower partition (4) of the first pressurized room (6) and is vertically moved so as to be upwardly moved by means of compressed air to close the opening of the lower partition (4), and an elastic body (24) to upwardly bias the second check valve (10).

    Abstract: A vented bucket for use in an endless conveyor system, such as the conveyor belt of a grain elevator or feed elevator, includes two oppositely disposed side panels joined by a rear panel, a bottom panel, and a front panel. At least one vent tube extends along or within one of the rear panel, side panels or front panel in a substantially vertical orientation.

    Abstract: A cleated belt tube conveyor for conveying granular material, such as seed and grain commodities. The conveyor comprising a cleat row profile incorporating one or more of the following aspects: taller central cleat member and a slanted or clipped peripheral cleat. A cleated belt conveyor guide element, comprised of a plurality of longitudinally spaced-apart lugs that extend from an inner surface of the belt is also disclosed. A cogged roller, having a plurality of channel segments divided by drive bars, complements the guide element. Also a baffle assembly can be disposed within the conveyor tube to limit material back flow. The baffle assembly can be configured with a belt passage aperture that corresponds to the cleat row profile.
