INSTALLATION POUR LA MANIPULATION ET LE DECHARGEMENT DE MATIERES SOLIDES EN VRAC

摘要

A handling apparatus for transferring loose solid material between a ship, a railroad truck or the like and a stocking area and conversely comprising a beam shiftable vertically or obliquely between two uprights so as to span a wet dock or other operative area. The beam carries longitudinally a conveyor feeding a bucket or two buckets operating alternatingly and moving along a vertical path without any lateral shifting, this being allowed by a tiltable part such as a sloping plane which is brought out of a vertical inoperative position into registry with the bucket in its upper position so as to dump the material dropping out of the bucket into a hopper feeding further conveyors.
