ABSTRACT:
A conveying apparatus includes a conveying assembly and a vertical funnel assembly mounted at a discharge end of the conveying assembly for guiding the discharge of bulk material. The funnel assembly includes a vertical row of frames slidably disposed on a pair of vertical wires. Adjacent frames are connected by flexible connecting elements. Each frame releasably carries a funnel element for conducting the bulk material so that a funnel element can be replaced without having to dismantle all of the funnel elements. Each funnel element includes a safety release connection enabling the funnel assembly to collapse under excessive loads, thereby protecting the conveyor from damage.
