Screened Loader-Bucket Receiver
Purpose
Use common earthmoving equipment only as a bulk transfer source while a purpose-built receiver performs screening, documentation, and controlled feed.
Operating concept
A loader, skid-steer, or excavator deposits material into a guarded receiving hopper with grizzly bars and a low-speed metering floor; the fire-water system remains physically separate.
Key assemblies
wide receiving hopper; grizzly/scalper; live-bottom or apron feeder; oversize dump gate; dust/spray enclosure; load cells; camera; interlocked access panels
Operating sequence
sample stockpile → deposit bucket load → separate oversize → measure received mass → meter to classifier or mixer → capture rejects → wash down in containment
Instrumentation
material-source record; feed-rate indication; jam/overload status
Safeguards
guard exposed motion; reject debris before metering; provide emergency stop and lockout points
Failure modes and mitigations
falling material; hopper engulfment; bridge collapse; foreign metal; dust and contaminated stockpile
Variants
fixed hopper; trailer hopper; low-profile skid-steer hopper; excavator-fed highwall hopper
Validation gates
source documentation; debris and contamination screening; guarding/stability review; repeatable feed trial
Claim boundary
CLAIM BOUNDARY: No certified design, validated recipe, performance guarantee, regulatory approval, or authorization for uncontrolled-fire use is represented.
Unverified concept for qualified research. Not certified equipment, not a validated formula, not fabrication instructions, and not authorization for active-fire use. Individual conventional components are not claimed as separately invented.
