Abstract
A material processing apparatus comprising: a base; a first material processing unit, for example a crusher and; a feed conveyor. The feed conveyor and the second material processing unit are both movable with respect to the first material processing unit and with respect to each other so that material can be fed into the first material processing unit directly from the feed coneyor, or indirectly from the feed conveyor via the second material processing unit. The second material processing unit can be stored beneath the feed conveyor when not in use.
Claims23
A material processing apparatus comprising:
- a base;
- a first material processing unit mounted on the base;
- a feed conveyor movable longitudinally of said apparatus between a first state in which the feed conveyor is positioned to feed material to said first processing unit, and a second state in which the feed conveyor is retracted in a first longitudinal direction from said first processing unit relative to said first state, and raised with respect to said base relative to said first state;
- and
- a screening unit mounted on the base and movable between a deployed state and a stowed state in which said screening unit is retracted in said first longitudinal direction from said first processing unit relative to said deployed state and is lowered with respect to said base relative to said deployed state,
- wherein when said feed conveyor is in said second state and said screening unit is in said deployed state, said screening unit is located between, with respect to said direction, said feed conveyor and said first material processing unit, and said feed conveyor is positioned to feed material to said, screening unit, and said screening unit is positioned to feed material to said first processing unit, and
- wherein when said feed conveyor is in said first state and said screening unit is in said stowed state, said screening unit is located beneath said feed conveyor.
