Abstract
A mobile bulk material processing apparatus having at least one material processing unit that is mounted at a hanging assembly including a carrier frame suspended from a main frame of the apparatus. The hanging assembly is capable of being connected or disconnected from the mainframe of the machine via a semi-automated process using a plurality of powered actuators acting on first and/or second couplings.
Claims15
A mobile bulk material processing apparatus comprising:
- a mainframe mounting endless tracks or wheels to allow the apparatus to move over the ground;
- a hanging assembly having at least one material processing unit and a carrier frame, the carrier frame being suspended from the mainframe via at least one support structure;
- a plurality of first couplings provided at the support structure and a plurality of complementary second couplings provided at the hanging assembly to releasably engage the first couplings to suspend the hanging assembly at the mainframe;
- and
- a plurality of power operated actuators acting on the first and/or second couplings and powered by a motor to move at least one of the first and second couplings relative to one another to provide powered engagement and disengagement between the first and second couplings and arranged to allow the hanging assembly to be connected and disconnected from the mainframe.
