Soil Digger
“Efficient soil supply”
The Soil Digger is a storage and supply system for soil. The system is constructed with a 1 or more soil bunkers, a soil digger and conveyor belts.
The soil is unloaded in the bunker by the truck. The truck drives into the bunker and at the end it will start unloading itself. The truck will drive forward during unloading. When the truck has left, the crane can be allowed into the bunker.
The digging system exists of a predigging system which rotates during digging, in order for a small layer of soil to be created on the floor, which can be picked up by the soil digger. The small layer will be brought to the central conveyor belt by means of 2 augers. The central conveyor belt has buckets which picks up the soil and elevates it up to the small conveyor belt which brings the soil on top of the wall. This conveyor belt can be rotated under the central conveyor belt so the soil can be transported to the left or the right side of the machine.
