Abstract

A compact modular mobile aggregate processing system configured with no stand-alone inter-plant conveyors for decreasing the footprint of the system and an infinitely adjustable flow diverter(s) for increasing the control of and variation of output characteristics of the system; the system further including specialized folding conveyors.

First claim

We claim:

1. A mobile screen comprising:
a plurality of decks for separating aggregate material having differing dimensional characteristics;
aggregate material diverter wherein flow of material therethrough is substantially aided by gravity;
wherein said aggregate material diverter is an adjustable material diverter, capable of dividing input flows therein to a plurality of output flows; said adjustable material diverter comprises: a gate which is configured to move, in a first manner, to block at least portions of a first passage, while permitting aggregate material to flow through a second passage; and said gate further configured to move, in a second manner, across an area below a material flow so that movement of said gate, in said second manner, results in an adjustable percentage of permissible flow through said first passage and said second passage;
a vehicular structure supporting said plurality of decks and said aggregate material diverter; and
wherein said first manner is said pivoting motion and said second manner is said translating motion.

2. A mobile screen comprising:
a plurality of decks for separating aggregate material having differing dimensional characteristics;
aggregate material diverter wherein flow of material therethrough is substantially aided by gravity;
wherein said aggregate material diverter is an adjustable material diverter, capable of dividing input flows therein to a plurality of output flows; said adjustable material diverter comprises: a gate which is configured to move, in a first manner, to block, at least portions of a first passage, while permitting aggregate material to flow through a second passage; and said gate further configured to move, in a second manner, across an area below a material flow so that movement of said gate, in said second manner, results in an adjustable percentage of permissible flow through said first passage and said second passage;
a vehicular structure supporting said plurality of decks and said aggregate material diverter;
wherein said gate is a pivotable gate which is configured to block the first passage while permitting aggregate material to flow through the second passage; and
said pivotable gate is further configured to move, in a non-pivoting manner, in an area below a material flow so that a movement of said pivotable gate, in said non-pivoting manner, results in an adjustable percentage of permissible flow through said first passage and said second passage.

3. The mobile screen of claim 2 where said movement of said pivotable gate in said non-pivoting manner is a translating movement.
