Abstract
A mobile pipe conveyor system which is capable of bending smoothly and freely both in horizontal and vertical within a certain range to be moved and/or laid in zigzag without dropping transported materials in contrast to the conventional flat-belt conveyor, and a method for reclaiming and leveling grounds utilizing said mobile pipe conveyor system arranged between a swiveling conveyor and a base point inside or outside of a land to be reclaimed, the entire pipe conveyor system together with the swiveling conveyor being pulled by one or more bulldozers and easily moved about the base point without adjusting l/e zigzag movement and/or laying, so that reclaiming and leveling works on a large scale can be completed in a short time.
