Mobile flotsam collector for cleaning dykes - has counter rotating roller conveyor belt, carrier battens and continuous carrier

摘要

The flotsam and debris collector is mounted in front of a vehicle, which propels it forward, and is esp suitable for clearing a dyke after flooding or high tides. There is a roller, with radial fingers on it, close above the ground, and rotating the opposite way to the drive wheels on the vehicle. Behind this there is a transversely mounted conveyor belt, while an elongated continuous conveyor device extends forwards across the roller, with outwards extending carrier battens synchronously driven with the drive wheels. A walling unit is mounted behind the conveyor belt, and in front of this there is an endless carrier device running crossways at a speed different from that of the conveyor belt. Cumbersome flotsam can be loaded as easily as layers of small materials, without risk of damage to the grass on the dyke.
