ABSTRACT:
An unloading facility for receiving a particulate material, such as coal, from a vehicle, and then conveying the particulate material to another location. The unloading facility primarily includes a platform assembly for supporting the vehicle, a bin for receiving the particulate material from the vehicle located beneath the top surface of the platform assembly, a bin door and bumper assembly for covering the open upper end of the bin to permit the vehicle to be driving over the bin and for preventing the vehicle from rolling backwards into the bin, a product sampling assembly, a product analyzer, and a conveying system with divider gates for transporting the particulate material from the bin to one of a plurality of stockpiles based on information obtained regarding the particular material. The platform assembly includes a scale for supporting and weighing the vehicle adjacent the forward and rearward ends of the bin so that the weight of the particulate material can be determined without moving the vehicle. The product sampling assembly includes a computer directed sampler, a sample crusher, a sample divider and a multi-can sample station with a motor coupled thereto. Preferably, the unloading facility is completely automatic, and also includes a control system having a card reader and computer for automatically controlling the conveying system, the bin door and bumper assembly, the product sampling assembly, the product analyzer and the diverter gates.
