  • Patent number: 9834386
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dosing apparatus for dosing a good, in particular a good to be dried such as a fermentation substrate or dung, comprising a conveyor for conveying a good to be dried in a conveying direction, wherein the good to be dried may be fed onto the conveyor by a feeding system and wherein the conveyor may deliver the good to be dried to a downstream unit such as a drying apparatus, and a control unit designed to control a conveying speed of the conveyor, wherein the conveyor is pivotally arranged about a vertical swivel axis, characterized in that the control unit is arranged and designed to control an oscillating movement, preferably a speed, in particular an angular speed, and/or a frequency of the oscillating movement, of the conveyor about the swivel axis.

  • Patent number: 9382070
    Abstract: The invention relates to a conveyor and a method to convey animal products in an agricultural business. Such a conveyor comprises a conveyor belt, a belt drive to drive the conveyor belt in at least one conveying direction, and a sensor to record a deviation of a position of a conveyor belt edge. The sensor is designed and arranged to output a deviation signal when the position of the conveyor belt edge deviates by a predetermined value from the target position. Furthermore, a correction device and a control unit are provided, whereby the correction device is designed and arranged to change the belt drive orientation dependent on a correction signal and whereby the control unit is designed to generate a correction signal dependent on the deviation signal and to output it to the correction device.

  • Publication number: 20140246289
    Abstract: The invention relates to a conveyor to convey animal products in an agricultural business, as well as a drive unit for such a conveyor. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method to convey animal products in an agricultural business by means of a conveyor. The conveyor comprises a conveyor belt, a belt drive for driving the conveyor belt in a minimum of one conveying direction, and a measuring unit that is designed and arranged to determine a load rate of the conveyor belt, wherein the load rate of the conveyor belt is a power value of the belt drive and/or a bearing reaction of a bearing in the belt drive.
