  • Patent number: 4230220
    Abstract: A novel apparatus for vertically conveying bulk materials is provided which includes a vertical belt conveyor comprised of two endless conveyor belts guided to travel upwardly along a substantially vertical plane in a face-to-face overlapping relation to each other and a highspeed bulk projector for packing bulk material into between the opposing faces of the two conveyor belts, utilizing the momentum of the bulk material per se. The two conveyor belts are guided at the bottom so as to turn round in directions opposite to each other in substantially symmetrical fashion and bulk material is projected rapidly under the effect of centrifugal force to the bottom belt junction where the two conveyor belts come to join each other. The conveying apparatus, with its highspeed bulk projector combined with a rotary bucket wheel type bulk feeder, forms a vertical bulk delivering apparatus which is compact and highly versatile.
