ABSTRACT:
A dual conveyor system is provided for conveying particulate material. The system includes a frame with an upper and lower conveyor housed therein. The lower track of the upper conveyor is closely spaced to the upper track of the lower conveyor so as to define a passageway therebetween through which the material is conveyed. A single motor drives both conveyors. The lower conveyor extends beyond the upper conveyor at both the inlet and outlet ends of the system so that material can be deposited and discharged without interference by the upper conveyor. A plurality of stationary hold-down bars are mounted on the frame between the upper and lower tracks of the upper conveyor and are slidably frictionally engaged by such lower track so as to prevent the lower track of the upper conveyor from being moved apart from the upper track of the lower conveyor by the material being conveyed therebetween. The depth of the passageway between the lower track of the upper conveyor and the upper track of the lower conveyor is adjustable so that the volume of material conveyed therein can be controlled. An adjustable support frame supports the upper and lower conveyors and allows the elevation of the outlet end of the passageway to be adjusted with respect to the inlet end of the passageway.
