Estimating the term…
A system for distributing a fracking proppant at a well site using a support frame to position a series of storage containers above a conveyor. The support frame receives a plurality of storage container and aligns the storage containers with hoppers formed on the conveyor. The support frame can include outriggers that extend to increase the stability and the amount of supported weight. The support frame includes a series of cross supports that extend across the conveyor belts to support the storage containers. The cross supports can include load cells to monitor the weight of the storage containers and stored proppant. The width of the cross supports can be adjusted and the support frame can include an extension frame to expand the width of the support frame. A control panel is included to display the status of the containers (full/empty/partially full) and control and monitoring the discharge rate of the plurality of containers.
A system for distributing a fracking proppant at a well site, comprising:
A support frame for supporting a plurality of storage containers each having a discharge gate centered within the storage container and containing a supply of a fracking proppant above a conveyor having a width defined between a first side and a second side, two conveyor belts each extending from a first end to a second end of the conveyor, and a plurality of hoppers positioned in two rows, each of the rows being positioned above one of the two conveyor belts to direct fracking proppant onto one of the conveyor belts, wherein the support frame and the plurality of storage containers each have a width, respectively, the support frame comprising:
