ABSTRACT:
A transfer terminal includes a storage structure bounding a chamber, the chamber being adapted to receive bulk material. A surge bin is at least partially disposed within the chamber of the storage structure. The surge bin receives the bulk material for dispensing. In one embodiment, for a portion of the bulk material that cannot freely flow into the surge bin, mechanical structures are provided for transferring the bulk material into the surge bin. A passageway extends through or below at least a portion of the storage structure. The first surge bin is in communication with the passageway for delivering the bulk material thereto.
