bunker conveyor

A high-capacity conveyor that takes peaks of production from another conveyor and retains and/or discharges the material when production drops. Such a conveyor may be laid under or alongside a trunk belt near its discharge end. The floor of the bunker comprises a slow-moving steel plate conveyor operated by hydraulic or other power. A movable plow plate, situated over the trunk belt, diverts the material sideways into the bunker conveyor.
