ABSTRACT:
A batched materials transferring apparatus includes an elongated drum, a bucket disposed in the drum, and a drive arrangement operable to move the bucket relative to the drum. The drum defines an interior chamber having a longitudinal axis. The drum has a top (or side) opening formed in a first end portion thereof and a bottom opening formed in a second end portion thereof with the top (or side) opening being axially displaced from the bottom opening. The bucket has a side opening formed therein and is slidably movable relative to the drum along the longitudinal axis between the first and second end portions. The drive arrangement is mounted adjacent to the drum and connected to the bucket through one end of the drum. The drive arrangement is operable to move the bucket along an axial path relative to the longitudinal axis of the chamber between the first and second end portions of the drum to respective loading and dumping positions in the interior chamber in which the bucket is respectively aligned with the top (or side) and bottom openings of the drum. The drive arrangement also is operable to move the bucket along a circumferential path relative to the longitudinal axis of the chamber between receiving and discharging orientations such that at the loading position and receiving orientation the bucket communicates through its side opening with the inlet opening of the drum for receiving a batch of materials into the bucket, whereas at the dumping position and discharging orientation the bucket communicates through its side opening with the outlet opening of the drum for discharging the batch of materials from the bucket.
