20110168528 | Flight Bar with Replaceable End - An apparatus for extending the wear life of flight bars used in chain-driven scraper conveyor systems by using a replaceable bar end. The bar end is securely attached to the flight bar body by a tongue protruding through an aperture in the bar end and interlocking with the clamp that secures the flight bar to the drive chain, without the use of additional fasteners. The replaceable bar end may be made from a different material than the body of the flight bar. Therefore, a wear resistant material could be used for the bar end, with the bar body and clamp made from conventional, typically more ductile materials. This invention therefore allows for the flight bar end to be replaced as required saving the cost of the main flight bar body and clamp. | 07-14-2011 |

20110220466 | PAN SECTION - A pan section for combined conveying and winning apparatuses having a bottom run and a top run for guiding driver elements of a conveyor chain, as well as a welded frame structure which has two side cheeks which consist of one-piece rolled profiles. The rolled profiles have a constant profile shape with a bottom leg and a top leg, which are angled outwards in the assembled state, and an intermediate leg being provided with an offset for supporting and welding at least one intermediate plate. The pan section further includes a substructure connected to the bottom leg of the rolled profiles to connect both bottom legs to one another at a distance from the intermediate bottom. The substructure also has mounting pieces positioned at the ends below the bottom legs for transverse-force transmission means. | 09-15-2011 |
20120080289 | UPPER-STRAND WELL FOR A TROUGH PAN AND TROUGH PAN HAVING SUCH AN UPPER-STRAND WELL - A trough pan with an upper strand trough and to an upper strand trough for a trough pan of a scraper chain conveyor, with two side profiles, and with a trough bottom. The trough bottom has two side edges and two end edges which have at least partially a wavy boundary line and which are provided at the transition of a top side into the end edge with a chamfer having a chamfer angle. In order to improve the upper strand troughs and the trough pans equipped with these in terms of the problem of the penetration of fine coal into the intermediate gap of the bearing region between the trough bottom and intermediate bottom, the end edges are provided with a bevel between the chamfer and an underside, the bevel sloping more steeply than the chamfer. | 04-05-2012 |
20120241293 | TAIL DRIVE ASSEMBLY - An assembly for replacing the top sigma sections in a tail drive of an armored face conveyor is described. The assembly joins the sigmas to the top deck in a single unit, providing more robust mounting support. The assembly may also include one or more mounting pins, as well as one or more access doors. The assembly requires no welding to the tail drive. | 09-27-2012 |

20130299318 | Conveying device and/or press having a feed device connected upstream - A conveying device and/or press having a feed device connected upstream and having a feeding space for material to be pressed. A feeding space bottom is cylindrically bent and rises in a transfer region upstream of the conveying device. A conveying apparatus which can be pivoted to and fro by means of a drive is provided in the feeding space, a pivot axis of the conveying device coinciding with a virtual center axis of the cylindrical shape. At least one rotatably driven rotor roller is arranged adjacent to the transfer region to further convey or press the material. The conveying apparatus is a conveyor arm with a conveyor head, and in order to convey the limited quantities of the material to be pressed from a position in a lower region of the bottom upwards to the transfer region, the conveyor head can be moved to and fro over the bottom. | 11-14-2013 |
20140138216 | SCRAP METAL ADVANCING ARRANGEMENT - In a scrap metal advancing arrangement with a scrap metal pusher supported in a linear guide structure and a first hydraulic drive system comprising at least one first cylinder piston unit wherein the scrap metal pusher has a front surface extending normal to the linear guide direction, the scrap metal pusher includes an inner pusher block which is movable relative to the first hydraulic cylinder piston unit. The push block also has a front surface which extends normal to the linear guide direction, with the gradient of the effective piston surface of ail second cylinder-piston units and the effective front surface area being greater than the quotient of the effective piston surfaces of all first cylinder piston units and the effective pusher front surface area. | 05-22-2014 |
