Bulk material processing apparatus

A bulk material processing apparatus which comprises:

• a longitudinally extending main frame;
• a supply conveyor mounted on, and extending lengthwise of the main frame, and operative to convey a supply of bulk material from a forward lower end of the conveyor to an upper and rearward discharge end;
• a material processing device mounted on the main frame and arranged to receive material from the discharge end of the supply conveyor, to process the material, and to discharge processed material;
• a discharge conveyor having a single endless conveyor belt and mounted on the main frame below the processing device so as to be able to receive processed material discharged by the processing device, and to discharge the material to a discharge point located rearwardly of the apparatus, wherein the discharge conveyor has a first part which is mounted on the main frame, and a second part which is adjustable between an operative position in which it forms a prolongation of the first part, and a folded transport position in which it extends below the first part;
• a first connection mounting the processing device on the main frame for movement between a raised operating position a lowered transport position;
• a second connection mounting the discharge conveyor on the main frame for movement between a raised operative position and lowered inoperative position;
• a third connection means connecting the discharge conveyor to the processing device so that they are moveable together between the respective operating and transport positions;
• in which the discharge conveyor is adjustable to a lowered inoperative position in which space is defined between the discharge conveyor and the processing device, when the latter is adjusted to its transport position, to allow access to the operating components of the processing device.
