Abstract
A transportable drive-over conveyor system comprising a drive-over hopper for receiving grain or other material and having a belted conveyor for conveying the grain or other material, a transition section pivotally connected at an upstream end to the drive-over hopper, an auger mounted at a downstream end of the transition section, wherein the transition section transfers the grain or other material from the belted conveyor to the auger.
Claims10
A drive-over conveyor system comprising:
- a drive-over hopper for receiving grain and having a belted conveyor for conveying the grain such that the grain is conveyed along a direction of conveyance;
- a transition section at an upstream end of the drive-over hopper;
- and
- a swing auger at a downstream end of the transition section,
- wherein the belted conveyor extends in the transition section over a lower portion of a flighting of the swing auger to transfer the grain from the belted conveyor to the swing auger;
- and
- a main conveyor adjacent to the swing auger for receiving the grain from the swing auger, wherein the drive-over hopper and the swing auger are configured to swing about a swing axis relative to the main conveyor.
4 more elements
A drive-over conveyor system comprising:
- a drive-over hopper having ramps enabling a vehicle to drive over the hopper in a drive-over direction and to dump a bulk material into the hopper, wherein the hopper includes a belted conveyor for conveying the bulk material along a direction of conveyance orthogonal to the drive-over direction;
- a swing auger downstream of the drive-over hopper;
- a transition section connecting the drive-over hopper to the swing auger;
- and
- a main conveyor for receiving the bulk material from the swing auger,
- wherein the drive-over hopper and swing auger are configured to swing relative to the main conveyor about a swing axis.
