PCT No. PCT/SE96/00298 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 4, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 4, 1997 PCT Filed Mar. 20, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/01501 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 16, 1997The invention concerns a filling arrangement (12) for a bulk unloader having a conveyor belt travelling in an endless path and provided with material receiving pockets (9). The arrangement is characterised by a filler wheel (31) having an essentially horizontal main axis (A) and comprising: two runners (80) which are rotatable about the main axis (A) and against which lateral belt portions (23) of the conveyor belt (10) abut, wherein said pockets (9) are travelling between the runners (80) and are open towards the interior of the filler wheel (31) for receiving material being supplied essentially axially via an inlet opening (39) through a first one of said runners (80), and a tubular wall in the shape of a frusto-conical member (70), which has a symmetry axis extending essentially in parallel with said main axis (A) and which is arranged to rotate about said symmetry axis, said frusto-conical member (70) diverging from the inlet opening (39) towards the pockets (9) disposed between the runners (80), in order to guide the material into said pockets. |
