  • Publication number: 20170015231
    Abstract: A material storage and transfer system includes a material carrier assembly, discharge valves, a transport conduit, and an air blower. The material carrier assembly includes a framework and compartments. The framework includes locking apertures to attach to a trailer platform of the traction vehicle and to attach to another material carrier assembly. The compartments are positioned within the framework and stores a material for transport. The discharge valves, comprising pneumatic valves and gravity valves, attached to the bottom of each compartment, and the transport conduit in communication with the discharge valves receive the material, where one end of the transport conduit is connected to an air blower and an opposing end is defined as a discharge end. The air blower blows air through the transport conduit to extrude the material received within the transport conduit through the discharge end towards an external storage device or an external process.

  • Publication number: 20160263584
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for processing an aggregate material, the device comprising a hopper to receive an aggregate material and a conveyor tube with a proximal end adapted to receive the aggregate material from a hopper. The conveyor tube is further connected to multiple induction jets supplying pressurized water received from a water pump to form a slurry mix of aggregate material. A plurality of wear plates mounted on an inner surface of the conveyor tube, to allow the slurry mix to travel cylindrically around and down the tube towards a discharge outlet at a distal end of the conveyor tube.

  • Publication number: 20160263583
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for processing an aggregate material into fracturing sand, the device comprising: a screen box comprising an upper compartment adapted to receive an aggregate material from a hydro tube device; a plurality of induction jets connected to the steel box for supplying pressurized water, via spray nozzle heads, to wash the aggregate material through a series of grading screens. The device further comprises a lower compartment to receive a washed aggregate from the upper compartment, and comprises a plurality of screen panels with a predefined size for screening out particles of predetermined size to a sand screw via a 12 inch pipe for receiving a finished cut fracturing sand and washing down the rest of the particles larger than the predetermined size to a conveyor and disposed as waste via a hopper connected to the conveyor.
