Operational Concept Material is drawn from the tipping truck into the Samson® Material Feeder body 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 discharges its material on to the forward moving Samson® Material Feeder apron-belt. The belt moves forward, so the material is drawn from the truck body.

Stage B When the truck is empty, it departs the Samson® Material Feeder and the material contained within the unit is continually discharged to the following conveyor system. The material moves forward and the entry section is exposed.

Stage C After the first truck has departed, the following truck reverses into position. During this time period the forward moving apron-belt has exposed the entry section ready to accept the next truck contents. And so it goes on..
