Arrangement for feeding out of chips, shavings or granular material from a storage container

摘要

The purpose of the invention is to achieve a safely functioning and space-saving feeding arrangement for storage container and whose transport screw is subjected to low random breaking loads. The arrangement according to the invention comprises a transport screw which can swing along the bottom of the storage container. The transport screw 5; 25 is assembled as a unit with a largely vertical housing 2; 22 to which the transport screw is pivoted and it projects laterally. A motor 6; 26 arranged inside the housing is connected to a cranked transmission. The housing is spring-loaded and rotationally suspended from the container so that it can turn about its vertical axis and can change angular position in relation to the vertical axis. The rotational motion of the housing with the transport screw is produced by means of a motor 13; 33 secured to the container, which is in drive connection with the end of the housing away from the transport screw via an elastic coupling 14; 44.
