Abstract
A compact mobile variable angle vibrating screen with an overhead conveyor with an inclined bottom feed support section, an independently positionable intermediate support section, and an overhead head support section where the independently positionable intermediate support section can be relocated to a new position in response to a translation of the bottom feed support structure while maintaining an angular orientation which is half of the angle of inclination of the bottom feed structure.
Claims10
A variable slope vibrating screen for material processing comprising:
- a variable position vibrating screen, having a longitudinal axis configured for sorting aggregate by size;
- an overhead conveyor configured to provide material to the variable position vibrating screen;
- said overhead conveyor comprising a bottom feed support section or tail section and an independently positionable intermediate support section and an overhead conveyor head support section;
- wherein said independently positionable intermediate support section has an angular orientation with respect to the bottom feed support section which is adjustable, but constant during operation.
A variable slope vibrating screen comprising:
- a vibrating screen;
- a chassis:
- a chassis mounted support;
- a bottom feed support section supported by said chassis;
- an overhead head support section supported by said vibrating screen;
- means for supporting a portion of a conveyor between said bottom feed support section and said overhead head support section with an angular orientation which is substantially one-half of the angle of inclination of the bottom feed support section and allowing said bottom feed support section to slide with respect to said chassis.
A compact mobile variable angle vibrating screen comprising:
- a variable angle vibrating screen;
- an overhead conveyor comprising:
- an inclined bottom feed support section;
- an independently positionable intermediate support section;
- and
- an overhead head support section;
- wherein the independently positionable intermediate support section can be relocated to a new position in response to a translation of the inclined bottom feed support structure while maintaining an angular orientation which is half of an angle of inclination of the bottom feed support section.
