  • Patent number: 11753252
    Abstract: A mobile machine for conveying and/or processing mineral aggregate material, includes a machine frame and a conveyor module supported on the machine frame so as to be displaceable relative to the latter. A conveyor line runs along a virtual conveyor path (FB), the conveyor module being designed at least for conveying the aggregate material along the conveyor path on the conveyor line. A component carrier in a working state of the machine runs in an elevation direction (H) at a distance from the conveyor line crosswise with respect to the conveyor path above the conveyor line. The component carrier supports at least one functional module which interacts with the aggregate material conveyed on the conveyor line. The conveyor module is displaceable relative to the machine frame with a displacement component in the elevation direction. The component carrier is movable both relative to the conveyor module and the machine frame.

  • Patent number: 11305317
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rock processing plant (10) having a machine frame (13), which supports a screening unit (20), wherein the screening unit (20) has at least two screen decks (21, 22), which are arranged offset from each other in the vertical direction (H) of the rock processing plant (10), wherein the screen decks (21, 22) each have a discharge area (A1, A2), wherein a transport device (15) is connected to the screening unit (22) in the conveying direction, wherein the transport device (15) has a feed area (15.1) and a discharge area (15.2), wherein a transport means, in particular an endless circulating conveyor belt (15.3), extends in a transport direction (D) at least partially between the feed area (15.1) and the discharge area (15.2), wherein the transport device (15) is attached to the machine frame (13) by means of a mechanical actuator (31), wherein the mechanical actuator (31) can be used to move the feed area (15.

  • Patent number: 11078024
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rock processing machine (10) having a feed hopper (40) and a process unit (20) downstream thereof, wherein a conveying device, in particular a hopper discharge belt (12), is assigned to the feed hopper (40), wherein the feed hopper (40) has a hopper side wall (42), and wherein a side-wall heightening (44) is assigned to the hopper side wall (42), which side wall heightening can be swiveled between a folded-down working position and a folded transport position. In such a rock processing machine, the requirements of occupational safety are effectively taken into account in a simple manner if provision is made that an operating unit (50) having a lever (51) for swiveling the side-wall heightening (44) is assigned to the side-wall heightening (44), wherein a transmission element (52) is used to couple the lever (51) to the side-wall heightening (44), and that the side-wall heightening (44) is secured in the folded-down working position using a movable locking element (60).

  • Publication number: 20210031695
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rock processing plant (10) having a process unit (20), to which a working platform (30) that can be walked on is assigned, wherein the process unit (20) has a projection (24.5), which protrudes into the working area formed by the working platform (30), wherein the working platform (30) has a fall arrester (35), in particular in the form of a guardrail, and wherein the working platform (30) has a platform widening (33) in the area of the projection (24.5) to create a working area adjacent to the projection (24.5). To improve occupational safety the invention provides that the platform widening (33) has a floor segment (33.1) as a working surface, which is swivel mounted such that it can be folded or swiveled between a folded-down working position, in which the floor segment (33.1) can be walked on, and an upright transport position, that the fall arrester (35) is guided in the area of the platform widening (33), that at least one locking segment (36.
