<p>A barge tipper comprises a cylindrical floating apparatus (10) defining a chamber (18) into which a barge (28) can be floated. End doors (16) at either end of the apparatus (10) are closed and the barge (28) is clamped in position by hydraulically operated clamps (20). Water is pumped from the chamber (18) to ballast tanks (12) and (14), causing the apparatus to rotate and thus tipping the barge (28). The contents of the barge (28) flow into a first conveyor (22) and are delivered to a second circumferential conveyor (24) which feeds the material to an external conveyor (26).</p> |
