Abstract
A wet sand loading system includes a material conveyor configured for carrying wet sand from a hopper to an elevated position over a loading platform. A funnel assembly is coupled to the material conveyor. The funnel assembly has a lower end movable relative to the material conveyor to direct wet sand into the hopper in a selectable direction.
Claims17
A wet sand loading device comprising:
- a material conveyor, said material conveyor being configured for carrying wet sand from a hopper to an elevated position over a loading platform;
- a funnel assembly coupled to said material conveyor, a lower end of said funnel assembly being movable relative to said material conveyor wherein said funnel assembly is configured to direct the wet sand into the hopper in a selectable direction.
The wet sand loading device wherein said funnel assembly comprises:
- an upper funnel portion adjacent to a dispensing end of said material conveyor wherein said upper funnel portion is configured to receive the wet sand from the material conveyor, said upper funnel portion being in a fixed position relative to said material conveyor,
- a lower funnel portion being movably coupled to said upper funnel portion, a bottom of said upper funnel portion extending into a top of said lower funnel portion, and
- a plurality of lines extending between said upper funnel portion and said lower funnel portion, said top of said lower funnel portion being spaced from an outer surface of said upper funnel portion wherein said lower funnel portion is hung from said upper funnel portion and movable relative to said upper funnel portion.
A wet sand loading system comprising:
- a loading platform having an opening;
- a material conveyor, said material conveyor being configured for carrying wet sand from a hopper to an elevated position over said opening in said loading platform;
- a funnel assembly coupled to said material conveyor, said funnel assembly comprising
- an upper funnel portion adjacent to a dispensing end of said material conveyor wherein said upper funnel portion is configured to receive the wet sand from the material conveyor, said upper funnel portion being in a fixed position relative to said material conveyor,
- a lower funnel portion being movably coupled to said upper funnel portion, a bottom of said upper funnel portion extending into a top of said lower funnel portion, and
- a plurality of lines extending between said upper funnel portion and said lower funnel portion, said top of said lower funnel portion being spaced from an outer surface of said upper funnel portion wherein said lower funnel portion is hung from said upper funnel portion and movable relative to said upper funnel portion.
