ABSTRACT:
A continuous-conveyance bulk-cargo ship unloader. It has a pickup at the bottom of an upright screw conveyor. The screw conveyor rotates around a vertical axis and relays a more or less horizontally free-flowing stream of bulk material to a sandwiched-belt conveyor accommodated in an elephant trunk. The object of the present invention is to ensure that the sandwiched-belt conveyor will be supplied to capacity as effectively as possible and with as little friction as possible. The belts that comprise the sandwiched-belt conveyor (4 & 5) are curved at the bottom. The cylinder (10) that deflects the counterforce-application belt (9) is in approximately vertical alignment with the cylinder (12) that deflects the force-application belt (11). Both cylinders demarcate an intake-slot throat (13). The intake-slot throat intercepts the particles (8) of bulk material leaving the top of the screw conveyor (3) in a horizontal or upward-sloping trajectory. The screw conveyor (3) and its associated relay section (3e) are at an angle of 0.degree. to 15.degree. to the axis of the sandwiched-belt conveyor. The sandwiched-belt conveyor travels as rapidly or approximately as rapidly as the particles travel in their trajectory.
