| 摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to an apparatus for optimizing the operation of a bucket feeder (6) in such a way that, regardless of quantitative fluctuations in a material flow (1) arriving in the bucket feeder (6) and containing chips (11, 12), sawdust (13) or bark or combinations thereof, the bucket feeder (6) is exploited over its entire width. Above the bucket feeder (6) lie one or more conveyors (23), which are adapted to spread the material flow (1) across the entire width of the bucket feeder (6). The end of said conveyor (23) furthermost in an advancing direction (24) has its vicinity provided with one or more sensors (25, 26), which identify the amount of material at this particular point and, on the basis of this, provide an instruction for increasing, decreasing, or maintaining the bucket feeder's (6) rotational speed.</p> |
