OPERATIONAL CONCEPT
Material is drawn from the tip-
ping truck into the Samson body A
by the forward moving apron-
belt conveyor. The operating
concept can be divided into
three stages as illustrated.
Stage A:
The first truck arrives and dis-
charges its material on to the
forward moving Samson apron-
Material is drawn into the empty Samson body by the forward moving Apron-Belt
belt. As the Samson belt moves
forward so the material is drawn
from the truck body. B
Stage B:
When the truck is empty it
departs the Samson and the
material contained within the
Samson is continually dis-
charged to the following con-
veyor system. The material
moves forward and the Samson
entry section is exposed. The Complete Truck Contents transferred to the Samson body
Stage C:
C
After the first truck has depart-
ed the following truck reverses
into position. During this time
period the forward moving
Samson apron-belt has exposed
the entry section ready to accept
the next truck contents.
And so it goes on...
During the Truck Manoeuvring Cycle the Samson Entry empties ready to accept the next load

MECHANICAL DRIVE
Hydraulic drives are available for
all machines but are preferred
under the following conditions:
Very high torque demand or
when dual gear drives are
required to equalise the load
share on each side of the
drive shaft.
Compact high power trans-
mission capacity generally
for drives over 55 kW..
Rapid drive cycling when
used with a level detector
control in the head chute. Worm main gear unit with helical primary reduction to achieve the required overall gear ratio

Discharge facility for Hopper Bottom Railcars receives coal for a Cement Plant including a Samson feeder with 80 tons holding capacity
RAILCAR DISCHARGE
The Samson solution for Railcar
discharge may be implemented
in a shallow pit, typically with
depth only 4.0 metres, ideally
suited in port area with high
ground water level or where
working on hard rock increases
the cost of the excavation which
with a conventional tapered
hopper could be as much as 14
metres deep to obtain the nec-
essary hopper angle for reliable
material flow handling such as
industrial coals etcetera.
With a shallow pit the material The Wide Apron-Belt Samson Concept permits a Shallow Excavation and Economical Installation
free fall is minimised and, since
the Apron-Belt of the Samson
feeder is wider than the typical
railcar, the material flows out-
ward reducing the velocity of
the displaced air and thereby
reducing dust generation.
With the deflected chassis
design the raised discharge pro-
vides an ideal transfer to the fol-
lowing conveyor which, thanks
to the shallow pit depth, may be
of reduced length and therefore
reduced energy input saving on
capital and running costs.
