Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods that enable solid and liquid pourable materials to more efficiently and properly exit intermediate conveyor areas between upper and lower runs of a conveyor, grab and carry high volume of materials from the upper run to a discharge area, and provide better access to wear parts and/or components.
Claims33
A conveyor system for processing a pourable conveying material;
- said conveyor system comprising:
- a first conveyor;
- said first conveyor includes a first frame and a first endless belt having a first upper run and a first lower run;
- said first frame at least partially supports said first endless belt;
- said first conveyor is configured to convey at least a portion of a conveying material in a first conveying direction;
- said first endless belt is configured to enable at least a portion of liquid in the conveying material to pass through said first endless belt;
- a second conveyor;
- said second conveyor includes second frame and a second endless belt having a second upper run and a second lower run;
- said second frame at least partially supports said second endless belt;
- said second conveyor is configured to convey at least a portion of the conveying material in a second conveying direction;
- said second endless belt is configured to enable at least a portion of liquid in the conveying material to pass through said second endless belt;
- an intermediate conveyor area that is configured to receive at least a portion of the conveying material;
- said intermediate conveyor area at least partially defined as a region between said first upper run of said first conveyor and said second lower run of said second conveyor;
- said intermediate conveyor area includes a base that is positioned under said second lower run of said second conveyor and one or more side walls;
- said intermediate conveyor area includes one or more side openings in said one or more side walls;
- and
- a trough system;
- said trough system is configured to receive at least a portion of the conveying material that pass from said intermediate conveyor area through said one or more side openings in said intermediate conveyor area;
- said trough system is configured to convey the conveying material that enters said trough system to a storage facility or filter system.

A method for separating solid materials from a pourable liquid and solid material mixture comprising:
- providing a conveyor system;
- said conveyor system comprising:
- a first conveyor;
- said first conveyor includes a first frame and a first endless belt having a first upper run and a first lower run;
- said first frame at least partially supports said first endless belt;
- said first conveyor is configured to convey at least a portion of a conveying material in a first conveying direction;
- said first endless belt is configured to enable at least a portion of liquid in the conveying material to pass through said first endless belt;
- a second conveyor;
- said second conveyor includes second frame and a second endless belt having a second upper run and a second lower run;
- said second frame at least partially supports said second endless belt;
- said second conveyor is configured to convey at least a portion of the conveying material in a second conveying direction;
- said second endless belt is configured to enable at least a portion of liquid in the conveying material to pass through said second endless belt;
- an intermediate conveyor area that is configured to receive at least a portion of the conveying material;
- said intermediate conveyor area at least partially defined as a region between said first upper run of said first conveyor and said second lower run of said second conveyor;
- said intermediate conveyor area includes a base that is positioned under said second lower run of said second conveyor and one or more side walls;
- said intermediate conveyor area includes one or more side openings in said one or more side walls;
- and
- a trough system;
- said trough system is configured to receive at least a portion of the conveying material that pass from said intermediate conveyor area through said one or more side openings in said intermediate conveyor area;
- said trough system is configured to convey the conveying material that enters said trough system to a storage facility or filter system;
- pouring said pourable liquid and solid material mixture onto at least a portion of said upper run of said first endless belt of said first conveyor;
- operating said first conveyor to cause said upper run to move larger solid materials to a first material discharge for said first conveyor;
- enabling liquid and smaller solid materials to pass about and/or through said first endless belt and to flow into said intermediate conveyor area;
- enabling said liquid and smaller solid materials in said intermediate conveyor area to flow through said one or more side openings and into said trough system;
- and
- directing a flow of said liquid and smaller solid materials in said trough system to said to a storage facility or to said filter system.
