Abstract: A chip material container arrangement is provided for storage of material to be spread in the production of particle and/or fiber boards. The container arrangement is equipped with several discharge rollers arranged one above the other, a base belt and feeder devices. With a discharge opening extending over the width of the container, the density distribution of the material to be spread is controlled by removing appropriately dimensioned material quantities from individual partial streams which partial streams are later combined in the area of the discharge opening to form a total material flow.

Abstract: A container body for highway trailers, ships or aircraft, for loading and transporting goods provides a conveyor belt on the floor of the body with a vertical partition that is movable with the conveyor as the goods are loaded into, or removed from the body. The belt can be moved forwardly or backwardly by a transmission shaft and a separate portable, self-contained power source which can remain at a loading dock, thereby making it unnecessary to use the container vehicle's transport power source. An electrical control mechanism can be suitably connected to the container body at a loading dock to control operation of the conveyor belt because the portable power source, which may be an internal combustion engine provided with an electrically controlled reversing gearbox, also includes a battery and suitable connections to the container body to energize the control mechanism.

Abstract: An apparatus for the aerobic decomposition of garbage, sludge, and similar organic waste materials having a reaction container (10) with vertically descending walls for the material to be decomposed, a discharge opening (12) extending over the entire cross section of the container (10), discharge elements (14) extending over the entire area of the discharge opening, and a removal device below the opening extending over the entire area of the discharge opening. A bi-directionally driven conveyor belt (16) transports the material to be removed from the discharge opening (12) into a first receptacle (22) which receives the material that has not been adequately purified or a second receptacle (24) for purified material. The conveyor belt (16) is preferably provided with cleansing devices (26).

Abstract: An apparatus for unloading bulk material from a storage space includes an upward conveyor (14), in particular a screw conveyor. For scraping the bulk material to the inlet end (22) of the upward conveyor (14), there is a scraper conveyor (27, 28) which is pivotally movable up and down and is telescopically extensible. The scraper conveyor is pivotally connected to a protective tube (24) which is rotatable and extends about the upward conveyor (14). The protective tube is located within a pressure-absorbing pipe which prevents the bulk material from impeding the rotational movement of the protective tube. This arrangement makes it possible for the scraper conveyor to remove bulk material from different regions of the storage space, including corners.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement in ship holds for bulk cargo, for example coal. The hold bottom has one or more rows of discharge openings and is substantially flat on at least one side of the rows of discharge openings. A plurality of drivers are arranged in succession on the flat bottom and are displaceable by drive motors in a direction transverse to said row so as to feed the cargo to the openings.

Abstract: A shop assembled drag-type conveyor is provided with means for shortening its length and width and the conveyor is placed in assembled, but shortened form in a dust hopper of an electrostatic precipitator. When the conveyor is in place it is lengthened to its operating length and its width is expanded and attached to the side walls of the dust hopper with a minimum of on-site construction.
