ABSTRACT:
A hinged gate and flexible loading seal for an inclined conveyor, more particularly for an inclined apron conveyor with pushers for carrying loose, bulk material. The pushers, longitudinally spaced either in staggered arrangement across the conveyor surface or each fully traversing the conveyor width, reduce gross downward movement of the material during conveyor ascent. A segmental gate is hinged above the conveyor in the vicinity of transfer from an unloading conveyor, allows upward passage of the pushers and interrupts downward movement of conveyed material. A flexible, resilient seal fixed above the conveyor and positioned downstream of the hinged gate prevents further downward retreat of escaping conveyed material and redeposits same upstream on advancing pushers.
