Abstract: A material transfer apparatus and method, the apparatus having a material separating container, a filter unit, a vacuum unit and an exhaust unit, all mounted on a mobile conveyance. Air, carrying the materials to be transferred, is drawn through pneumatic tubing into the separating container where large and small materials are separated, and then into the filter where it is filtered for re-entry into the atmosphere.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a self-contained, mobile, pavement repair apparatus. A self-propelled, wheeled vehicle is described, upon which are mounted a material supply hopper, a debris storage, an overhead crane arm, and an articulated conveyor arm. Mounted on the business end of the crane arm are various implements for performing pavement repair, all of which are remotely controlled by a single user in an enclosed cab. Asphalt or concrete patching material is transported by an auger from the tiltable supply hopper to an articulated conveyor arm, which conveyor arm deposits the material upon the repair area. The user remotely controls the overhead crane arm in order to position and actuate, from the cab, the various repair implements. All apparatus functions, materials and safety devices necessary to complete the repair process may be operated by a single user.
