ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for infeeding batched material to an inlet opening of a material processing apparatus includes a lift mechanism disposed alongside the material processing apparatus and being operable to lift the batched material at least to the elevation of the inlet opening of the material processing apparatus, a delivery conveyor disposed alongside the material processing apparatus and adjacent to the lift mechanism and being operable to deliver the batched material to the lift mechanism, a transfer enclosure spaced from the lift mechanism and disposed above the inlet opening of the material processing apparatus, the transfer enclosure having a side entrance for receiving batched material from the lift mechanism and a bottom exit for subsequent discharge of the batched material into the material processing apparatus through the inlet opening thereof, a tilt assembly disposed between the lift mechanism and the transfer enclosure and being operable to either block or complete a path for transfer of the batched material from the lift mechanism to the transfer enclosure, a transfer mechanism spaced above the tilt assembly and extending between the lift mechanism and transfer enclosure and being operable to transfer the batched material from the lift mechanism, over the tilt assembly, and into the transfer enclosure, and a closure mechanism disposed contiguous with the bottom exit of the transfer enclosure and being operable to transfer the batched material from the transfer enclosure into the material processing apparatus via its inlet opening.
