Arranged below the hopper for receiving material from the discharge opening of the hopper is an auger conveyor which elevates the material received from the hopper at an angle permitting the material to be discharged into a reservoir of an airplane without contacting the aircraft. A gate arrangement controls flow of material from the hopper to the conveyor, while a pulley affixed to the auger for rotating same is provided with a mass disposed eccentrically of the auger for vibrating the hopper when the conveyor is in operation and preventing bridging and tunnelling of material in the hopper.Field of SearchIncluding gravity conveyor section or bin with driven conveyorIn generally vertical exit path of gravity discharge material holder By agitating, stirring, vibrating, etc. Screw type of discharge-receiving, power-driven section With means to assist in discharging from or feeding to the housing of the helical surface information Including drive means JARRING AND/OR VIBRATING Discharge rotor is actuator for vibratable wall | |
