Flat-item conveyor from hopper to extraction mechanism

摘要

A first conveyor belt (5) and shaft (6) connect the bulk-storage hopper (2) to a rotary drum (7). Inside the latter is a second conveyor belt (9) delivering in its axial direction and extending through its end towards the extraction mechanism (4). Both belts can be intermittently driven and by electric motors, a further motor driving the drum. The latter can have an opto-electronic filling-level indicator, and the motors and the indicator can be connected to a controller (12) by signal-transmitting wires. The shaft (6) can deliver into the drum at the opposite end to the extractor mechanism.
