Abstract
An apparatus for discharging material, as feed, to a location having a plurality of end-to-end pan sections. An elongated belt slidably located on the upper surfaces of the pan sections is moved to carry material to the location. The pan sections have adjacent ends. A transverse member located between and mounted on each adjacent end of the pan sections elevates portions of the belt from the upper surfaces of the pan sections. A power sweep operates to move material from the belt to the desired location.
