ABSTRACT:
A bucket conveyor apparatus includes one or more conveyor chains, and a plurality of conveyor buckets which are pivotally mounted on the conveyor chains. While the buckets are positioned in spaced apart relationship along the chains, the present apparatus includes an arrangement for relatively reducing this relative spacing at an infeed station of the apparatus. An arrangement of guide members is provided for relatively reducing the effective length of the conveyor chains thereby relatively reducing the spacing between the conveyor buckets at the infeed station. Efficient loading of material into the buckets is thus facilitated since spillage of material between the buckets during loading is substantially abated.
