Mobile Mechanical Xeriscape Gravel Cleaner

摘要

Disclosed is mobile mechanical xeriscape gravel cleaner which is delivered to the site of the xeriscaping to be cleaned by a wheel/axle assembly, leveled with adjustable jack stands mounted on the metal frame. Xeriscape material to be cleaned is collected and deposited in a hopper with slide plate to control flow of material into the receiving chamber. Using an external power system, the auger/screener device rotation begins and picks up and carries forward the material, passing through the transition plate to the auger/cleaner chamber where foreign material passes through the screen. The cleaned material proceeds to the discharge chamber where it is collected and returned to the original xeriscaped site. The mobile mechanical xeriscape gravel cleaner can clean xeriscape gravel at a lower cost, with improved quality and a higher rate of speed than was previously possible, with significantly reduced burden to the ecosystem.

主权项

1. A MOBILE MECHANICAL XERISCAPE GRAVEL CLEANER consisting of: a device constructed of a welded metal frame with independent wheel/axle and stabilization jacks, topped with worker safety/access panels with endplates and a single split transition plate capable of traveling to a site in need of removal of dirt and debris from xeriscaped landscaping; the device is powered by an external power device and control panel which provides a variable rotation speed and gravel flow rate based on volume of dirt and debris to be removed as well as size of xeriscaped gravel to be cleaned; xeriscaped gravel is loaded into the hopper where it is gravity fed and flow regulated with a slide gate; xeriscape gravel is then delivered to a receiving chamber and is mechanically pulled into the cleaning chamber by a single flight or double flight auger; as the gravel passes through the cleaning chamber, the dirt and debris falls through the screens for disposal and the cleaned xeriscape gravel transitions to the discharge chamber for collection and replacement to the site.
