1. A material processing machine, comprising:
a rotary conveyer for delivering material to a material conditioner, the conveyer having a cylindrical rotatable body having a circumferential outer surface and being mounted for rotation about a central axis in a rotation direction for delivering material to the material conditioner; and a paddle mounted on the body, the paddle, as considered in a vertical cross section extending perpendicular to the central axis, comprising: a support portion defined solely by a straight first member having a radially outer end and a radially inner end, the inner end being attached to the body and the outer end being positioned in non-leading relationship to the inner end with respect to the rotation direction of the body; and a second member including a straight outer part having a leading end and a trailing end, with respect to the rotation direction of the body, and being disposed at a right angle to a radial line extending from the central axis and passing through the radially outer end of the first member, and the straight outer part being fixed directly to the radially outer end of the first member and including an integral lip portion extending to the leading end of the straight outer part in leading relationship to the radially outer end of the first member with respect to the rotation direction of the body, and the second member is bent to form an inner part having an outer end joined directly to the trailing end of the straight outer part, the inner part having an inner end attached to the circumferential outer surface of said body at a location spaced in trailing relationship to the inner end of the first member, relative to the rotation direction of the body. |
