Abstract: A vibrating screen feed conveying apparatus for conveying and separating sticky “moisture laden bulk solids” which are sticky and wet flowing onto a vibrating screening feeder and into a hopper. The apparatus includes a bed on which material is conveyed, a longitudinal counterbalance supported on a plurality of isolation springs, a plurality of inclined drive springs extending between the bed and the longitudinal counterbalance, and a plurality of stabilizers for controlling movement of the drive springs along their central axes. A plurality of vibratory motors, each having rotatable eccentric weights are attached to the rear end of the longitudinal counterbalance. The eccentric weights rotate in phase with one another to vibrate the bed at a vibration frequency.

Abstract: A circular vibratory conveying apparatus for conveying material. The apparatus includes a bed on which material is conveyed, a counterbalance supported on a plurality of isolation springs, a plurality of inclined drive springs extending between the bed and the counterbalance, and a plurality of stabilizers for controlling movement of the drive springs along their central axes. Three or more vibratory motors, each having rotatable eccentric weights, are attached to the counterbalance. The eccentric weights rotate in phase with one another to rotationally vibrate the bed at a vibration frequency.

Abstract: A vibratory conveying apparatus for conveying material. The apparatus includes a bed on which material is conveyed, a counterbalance supported on a plurality of isolation springs, a plurality of inclined drive springs extending between the bed and the counterbalance, and a plurality of stabilizers for controlling movement of the drive springs along their central axes. A first pair of vibratory motors, each having rotatable eccentric weights, and a second pair of vibratory motors, each having rotatable eccentric weights, are attached to the counterbalance. The eccentric weights rotate in phase with one another to vibrate the bed at a vibration frequency.

Abstract: A storage bin arrangement especially suited for receiving, storing and discharging, in accordance with a combination of induced vertical flow and impelled retrieving concepts, bulk solid materials, in one embodiment of which essentially the entire bin itself is arranged for responding to a circular conveying type vibratory helical stroke movement generated by a pair of electric motors secured to the opposite sides of the bin in oppositely oriented positions to dispose their respective driving shafts at opposite, typically 45 degree angulations with respect to the horizontal, and with each such motor shaft driving a pair of eccentrically oriented weights, with the bin having a low profile bottom section equipped with one or more off center located, vertically oriented, vertically rectilinear, discharge chute arrangements and having one or more internally applied baffles, either of inverted cone type or one or more rows or levels of internally applied centerless, radial, sidewall mounted type, in spaced relatio

Abstract: A system for handling refuse derived fuel (RDF) devised to make RDF fired power plants practical, that includes a method and apparatus for receiving, storing and discharging, distributing and feeding RDF at the plant that accepts such material for fuel, which has been shredded to a predetermined nominal size and usually has most of the ferrous metals removed therefrom, which system includes a relatively large activated bin for primary surge capacity purposes that initially receives and stores the RDF, to provide a binned quantity of same from which as continuous flow of the RDF can be generated that will result in a pulsation free, steady supply of RDF to the plant furnace or furnaces, for firing the power plant involved, with one or more trains located adjacent the locale of the plant furnace to be fired, each of which includes several metering activated bins that are actuated to supply an underlying vibrating feeder that conveys the RDF to the furnace fuel chute, with the activated metering bins of each tra

Abstract: This invention relates to a flat stroke sifter screen unit having the entire vibratory drive system mounted at the inlet end of the unit including drive springs, input motor (or vibratory excitor) and counterbalance, all located at this end of the screening unit. The outlet end of the unit is free of any bearings, or wheels, or rods, or the like and the entire unit is supported on isolation springs which may be steel coils for a fully free floating mounting.

Abstract: This invention relates to a car side wall vibrating mechanism adapted to densify a bulk lading going into the car, or to facilitate unloading of lading from the car and wherein the natural frequency of structural beams facing the car is higher than the speed of the motors driving the mechanism, which are mounted in fixed relation to the beams and located between spaced elements adapted to engage the beams with the car side wall, with such spaced elements having separate supporting structures with the entire structure supported on a base having means anchoring the car rails with anchor means embedded in the base. The arrangement utilizes multiple stabilizers for the elements referred to, with at least one such stabilizer under the motor mount.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flat stroke sifter screen having a vibratory excitor mounted at the inlet end and drive springs at the outlet end with a counterbalancing member having a tuning plate and stabilizers for the counterbalance, whereby the lateral vibratory action of the sifter is in the form of an elliptical motion adjacent the inlet end and a substantially straight back and forth, or axial motion is obtained adjacent the discharge end.
