Abstract
A system for the alternative charging of at least one sack filling machine and/or of at least one truck with pourable material, which is stored in a plurality of silos, which are firmly braced by columns, whereby each of the truck and the sack filling machine can be moved under desired silo outlets, and whereby, following the filling of the sacks, the sacks can be transported from the filling system over a totally or partially traversible intermediate conveyor to one of several conveyor belts. The intermediate conveyor, assigned to at least one filling machine, is designed as a traversible elevator at least over some regions. When in the working position, the discharge end of the conveyor corresponds with one of the conveyor belts, arranged above the required passage height necessary to move the sack filling machine or the truck.

System for the alternative charging of at least one sack filling machine and/or of at least one truck with pourable material, which is stored in a plurality of silos, which are firmly braced by columns, whereby both the at least one truck and/or the at least one sack filling machine can be moved under desired silo outlets, and sacks filled by the sack filling machine can be transported from the filling machine to one of several conveyor belts wherein said conveyor belts are arranged above a required passage height necessary to move at least one sack filling machine or at least one truck under the conveyor belts,
- and further including at least one intermediate conveyor, assigned to at least one filling machine and designed as a traversible elevator at least over some regions, having a discharge end corresponding with one of said conveyor belts when said elevator is in position for use to transfer filled sacks to one of said conveyor belts.
A system for the charging of a sack filling machine and/or a truck with material which is stored in a plurality of silos mounted on a structure to allow said truck and/or said sack filling machine to be moved under desired silo outlets, said system comprising a conveyor belt, arranged above a required passage height necessary to accommodate a sack filling machine or a truck beneath the conveyor belt, and a traversible elevator for transporting sacks filled by a sack filling machine to said conveyor belt, a discharge end of said traversible elevator corresponding with a height of said conveyor belt when said elevator is positioned for use in sack transport.
A system for the charging of at least one sack filling machine and/or of at least one truck with pourable material which is stored in a plurality of silos arranged in rows, comprising a structure for supporting said plurality of silos while providing sufficient room to allow a truck or a sack filling machine to be moved under desired silo outlets at a same level, at least one substantially horizontal conveyor belt supported by said structure, and an intermediate conveyor for transporting sacks filled by a sack filling machine to said conveyor belt.
