Abstract
An en-mass conveyor for vertically or steeply lifting bulk material has two, primary, flat, endless belt conveyors which are vertical or steeply-inclined throughout facing, correspondingly-progressing, material-conveying runs thus forming a belt shaft. One of the primary belts has flights or similar impellers which extend to the other belt in the belt shaft. Two, secondary, endless, flat belts laterally close the belt shaft along with one or two side or closure walls which are vertically immovable and provided with an opening for laterally feeding of the bulk material into the belt shaft for conveyance.
Claims7
An en-mass conveyor for bulk material, comprising:
- first and second primary-conveyor, flat, endless belts and means arranging them with facing, correspondingly-progressing runs for defining therebetween a belt shaft along which the bulk material is conveyed;
- flights projecting from one primary-conveyor belt to the other along the belt shaft for aiding. the material conveyance;
- first and second secondary-conveyor, flat, endless belts laterally closing the belt shaft between the primary-conveyor belts along at least a substantial part of the belt shaft;
- and
- a closure plate at one, upstream end of at least one of the secondary-conveyor belts, continuing the lateral closing of the belt shaft, and having an opening therethrough to the belt shaft for admitting the bulk material into the belt shaft between consecutive flights for conveyance therealong.

- first and second primary-conveyor, flat, endless belts and means arranging them with facing, correspondingly-progressing runs for defining therebetween a belt shaft along which the bulk material is conveyed;
- flights projecting from one primary-conveyor belt to the other all along the belt shaft for aiding the material conveyance and receiving the bulk material between consecutive flights;
- first and second secondary-conveyor, flat, endless belts laterally closing the belt shaft between the primary-conveyor belts along at least a substantial part of the belt shaft;
- a closure plate at one, upstream end of at least one of the secondary-conveyor belts, continuing the lateral closing of the belt shaft, and having an opening therethrough to the belt shaft for admitting the bulk material into the belt shaft between consecutive flights for conveyance therealong;
- a chute communicating with each opening through the closure plate for gravity feeding the bulk material thereto;
- and
- supply means for supplying the bulk material to the chute.
