Abstract: An auger airlock assembly and end dump housing having a spring loaded bottom for use in a bulk loader which utilizes a source of negative pressure to create a suction air stream that draws particulate materials into the loader for transfer, via the auger assembly, to a location remote of the loader. Materials exiting the auger assembly accumulate within the housing to a point wherein, once the accumulated material has acquired a certain weight, the bottom of the housing is forced open to permit discharge of the material, and, once the material is removed, and is not present in enough quantity to maintain the bottom of the housing to remain open, the spring loaded connection biases the bottom back into a position sealably closing the housing. The bottom of the housing may also be opened by the auger feeding more material into an already full housing, whereby the material is compressed so as to force the door open. Side portions of the housing limit the opportunity for outside air to enter the airlock assembly during the discharge of materials, maintaining the vacuum suction created by the negative pressure in the auger assembly.

Abstract: A high capacity particulate loader having an intake hose on one sidewall thereof which communicates with a source of negative pressure formed by a multi-stage suction mechanism, to create a high suction, high volume and high speed air stream that draws particulate materials through the hose and propels them into a separation chamber where they separate from the air stream and are directed into a discharge auger assembly on the opposite sidewall of the loader. The multi-stage suction mechanism communicates with a separation chamber and/or a settling chamber, the settling chamber providing an area where dust or fine chaff from the suctioned particulate materials, which may be present in the air stream, can settle, through gravity, on a bottom surface of the settling chamber, thus avoiding contact with the blowers so as to prevent clogging of the blowers and rotor wear thereof.

Abstract: An intake hose on one sidewall of the machine communicates with a source of negative pressure to create a powerful suction air stream that draws particulate materials through the hose and propels them into a chamber where they separate from the air stream and charge by their own momentum directly into a discharge auger assembly on the opposite sidewall of the machine. The auger assembly joins with the sidewall of the machine at an upwardly and outwardly inclined attitude for elevating the materials into a suitable receiving truck or trailer alongside of the machine, and a lower longitudinal portion of the assembly which adjoins the sidewall is open along its length to facilitate the unimpeded reception and entry of particulate materials from the hose directly into the auger. The auger assembly includes a tubular housing surrounding an internal, longitudinally extending auger, and a pair of successive outlet ports in the housing adjacent the upper and outer end of the assembly are controlled by independently functioning, spring-biased, sealing doors that assist in providing an airlock in the assembly during operation to prevent the admittance of power-robbing ambient air to the separating chamber via the auger assembly.
