Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for crushing aggregate material. In some embodiments, in an operating configuration a recirculating conveyor deposits material previously crushed by a crusher into the feed inlet of the crusher. In some embodiments, the recirculating conveyor is pivoted inward about a vertical axis into the operating configuration.

Abstract: A method of washing aggregate material, the method comprising: receiving aggregate material in a tank; receiving water in said tank; by at least a rear wall of said tank, retaining said aggregate material and water in a rearward portion of said tank and preventing said water and aggregate material from overflowing said rear wall; agitating said aggregate material and water to form a slurry; advancing said slurry to a tank outlet in a forward portion of said tank; depositing said slurry through said tank outlet; receiving said slurry on a vibrating screen; allowing an undersize portion of said slurry to fall through said vibrating screen; pumping at least a fraction of said undersize portion to a hydrocyclone; by said hydrocyclone, separating said fraction of said undersize portion into an underflow fraction and an overflow fraction; receiving said underflow fraction on said vibrating screen; and passing product from said vibrating screen.

Abstract: Aggregate processing systems, methods, and apparatus are described. In some embodiments, a plant is configurable in one of a plurality of configurations, e.g. by sliding one of a plurality of chutes, hoppers, or flumes into a frame and/or by modifying a height of the frame. In some embodiments, a roller floor assembly is in a maintenance configuration when a chute is in a maintenance position. In some embodiments, a flume includes one or more diverters for moving a subset of material from one side of the flume to another.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for creating an at least partially desegregated stockpile. In some embodiments the stockpile comprises one or more windrows. In some embodiments an operating speed (e.g., belt speed) of the conveyor is varied to create windrows at various distances from the conveyor.

Abstract: A method for producing a motor vehicle rim made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy for a motor vehicle wheel. The motor vehicle rim has a rim base delimited on opposite sides by an outer horn and an inner horn, a hub with a central recess and a hole circle and a rim center connecting the rim base and the hub to one another and acting eccentrically on the rim base in longitudinal section. The motor vehicle rim is produced in one piece and continuously in a casting mold by vacuum die casting of a casting material, wherein the motor vehicle rim has a small wall thickness of at most 15 mm at least in some regions and/or a curvature with a small radius of curvature of at most 4 mm.

Abstract: Aggregate washing systems are described including mechanisms for slurrying, washing and/or dewatering aggregate material.

Abstract: Systems for automatically leveling a base frame of a bulk material transport conveyor include radial travel wheels mounted on generally opposing sides of the base frame that can move from a raised position above the ground to a lowered position in contact with the ground to permit radial travel of the conveyor. Actuators normally used to raise or lower the radial travel wheels may be actuated automatically by a controller in response to a signal from an inclination and/or limit sensor mounted on the conveyor that represents a non-level orientation of the conveyor, to level the base frame.

Abstract: Conveyors are disclosed having transport and operational configurations. Some embodiments include conveyor sections supportable on an upper support rail. Some embodiments are sized to be transported in a conveyor. Some embodiments include conveyor sections slidingly engaged with one another. Some embodiments include a reel for supporting a conveyor belt. Some embodiments include individually foldable conveyor sections.

Abstract: A belt conveyor wing pulley is comprised of a plurality of V-shaped wings radially spaced about and connected to circumferential surfaces of a pair of spaced hubs. Gussets are connected to facing surfaces of adjacent wings and to the circumferential surfaces of the hubs.
