ABSTRACT:
A material transfer assembly is provided which includes a carriage of an unloading apparatus which is movable along a fixed, elongated conveyor housing. The carriage includes a funnel plate with an opening through which powdered material discharges through a flexible conduit and into a separate discharge guide which the carriage pulls along with it. The discharge guide maintains sliding engagement with the conveyor housing to provide closed conduit conveyance of the material into the conveyor housing. Hydraulic jacks pivotally mounted between the discharge guide and the carriage suspend the guide from the carriage, and towing chains connected to these two structures transmit pulling forces from the carriage to the guide so that the guide may move relative to the carriage to maintain the desired engagement with the conveyor housing despite variations in alignment between the carriage path and the conveyor as the carriage and guide move along the conveyor.
