  • Patent number: 8122620
    Abstract: A screening, crushing or mixing bucket is formed into a bucket of an excavating machine or bucket loader. The bucket comprises a bottom plate, side walls, and at the back of the bucket working drums rotatable about their shafts, which screen, crush or mix the material in the bucket as they rotate and at the same time deliver screened, crushed or mixed material out of the bucket, between or through the working drums. In the bucket are casings for the power transmission and bearings of the working drums. The casings are limited by frame plates to which the bearing housings of the drums are attachable. On the frame plate and/or on the inner side of the inner wall is fixed a mudguard, which extends between the shafts of the working drums, next to the lead-throughs of the shafts, and the mudguard comprises cut-outs for receiving the shafts of the working drums.

  • Publication number: 20100003356
    Abstract: An apparatus for scattering fibrous material, e.g., chips, said apparatus serving to spread chips using either a throw or air-jet spreading method to form a mat (3) of chips onto a moving band conveyor (4) or the like, whereby the scattering process avails a gas flow, such as air flow, for instance; the apparatus having a scattering chamber mounted above the band conveyor or the like. The invention is implemented such that, in order to prevent lateral turbulence, the volume of the scattering chamber's length wherein the major portion of the material being scattered falls onto the band conveyor or the like is at least partially divided into smaller subspaces adjacent to each other in the cross-machine direction by substantially thin plate-like elements (9) set apart from each other in cross-machine direction at a spacing substantially larger than the particle size of the material being scattered.
