ABSTRACT:
A handling plant for dumping and discharging bulk material into or from a pile, comprises a loading bridge which is adapted to span or be moved over the pile, and which includes an upper beam having a first trackway and a lower beam having a second trackway which extends longitudinally of the bridge and which are adapted to span the storage space or pile. The dumping gear includes a first trolley which is movable along the first trackway and has a conveyor system for receiving the bulk material and for transferring it to each side of the bridge and for dumping it downwardly into a discharge tube. A removing gear which comprises a second trolley which is movable along the second trackway has a vertically extending conveyor with pickup elements, such as, buckets or similar means, to pick up the bulk material vertically and to transfer it to a bridge conveyor which extends longitudinally along the trackway. The bridge advantageously includes an outer cantilever portion with a pile pickup conveyor which may be manipulated to position the end in the pile to feed the material upwardly through a feeder and into a discharge gear and a lower conveyor which extends upwardly from the bridge conveyor to discharge the material from the bridge conveyor into the pile.
