The Samson Concept

4 The unique Samson wide belt design with steel apron bar technology offers the strength of an apron feeder with clean operation. The section through the Samson body shows the wide belt construction with vertical hopper sides. Since the material depth is low compared to the belt width virtually any bulk material may be handled without risk of bridging. Trapezoidal apron bars suppor t the load through to the conveyor chain rollers with the conveyor belt riveted above the steel apron bars to seal the load within the Samson body.

Wide belt design guarantees reliable material flow 

T he Samson Body Section

Since the conveyor chains are always outside the material flow chain wear is drastically reduced and inspection made easy. Close contact flexible rubber side seals mounted outside the loaded area prevent side spillage even when handling granular and free flowing materials such as cement clinker. In addition to the side seals the conveyor belt has a raised edge to contain any dust particles passing the main seals. In the event of a total seal failure any spilled material may flow through the ventilated side pressing clear of the return belt preventing damage to the conveyor chains and apron bars.

Side seals

Optional ball or plain bearing chain rollers support the load reducing frictional losses minimising power consumption. Positive conveyor chain drive prevents slippage and allows high torque transmission within compact dimensions.The conveyor chain system eliminates belt tracking problems and the need for any belt tension to transmit the drive. Robust construction designed to absorb impact loads from tipping trucks or loading shovels with generous safety margins for long life and reliable operation. A wide range of conveyor chain options are available from 380 to 3200 kN. rupture strength selected to suit each application.

The Samson Solution

5 Compared to a traditional underground pit for receiving bulk materials from trucks the Samson offers major advantages.

Flexibility: No excavation is required and only the minimum of civil works, generally the Samson may be simply bolted to a flat concrete slab foundation. Since the Samson may be installed completely above ground maintenance access is much improved and housekeeping made easy. Even for fixed installations the Samson r emains portable since the unit may be easily relocated for future plant development and therefore investment risk is minimised.

Environmentally Friendly:

Traditional underground pit 

The wide belt system allows fast truck discharge with minimum dust generation since the material is drawn from the truck body in a controlled stream minimising particulate separation, compared t o conventional pits or hoppers the material fall is significantly reduced and as a result dust generation is minimised.

Mobility: For absolute flexibility the Samson may be fully mobile on pneumatic tyres for use as a feeder in mining or port applications in conjuction wit h overland conveyors, mobile stackers and shiploaders.

The Receiving Unit

The Samson receiving unit may be used in applications where the discharge rate may be controlled by a secondary feeder or conveyor system. Wit h the Samson empty material is received from the tipping truck direct to the Samson entry and conveyed forward by the Samson belt. When the first truck is emptied and the Samson is fully loaded the material is discharged from the Samson head to the ongoing conveyor or feeder equipment. As the next truck manoeuvres into position ready to tip the material is continually moved forward along the Samson body as the Samson discharges leaving space at t he entr y.

Material is received to the Samson entry and drawn  into the Samson body 

The next truck then discharges to the empty Samson entry and the process is repeated. In this manner the Samson discharges on demand to the process system using a feeder or extractor conveyor to control the flow rate. This system may be used effectively to provide fast truck unloading whilst allowing the on-going conveyors to be sized according to the process demands thus minimising the cost and energy requirements of the installation as a whole.

Samson is fully loaded and the truck departs 

To r egulate the Samson discharge a level probe is required in the Samson head chute linked to the belt drive system to interrupt the discharge on the high level signal, see page 21. The receiving unit principle is ideal for applications where the truck deliveries are infrequent and therefore the Samson may be fully emptied between each delivery. Alternatively, where the ongoing conveyors may be of high capacity allowing the Samson to be quickly discharged between loads.

Controlled Rate Feeder

8 The Samson Feeder uses a levelling blade at the discharge to regulate the material flow to the ongoing conveyors providing a closely controlled discharge rate.

Levelling blade 

In this manner the discharge rate is directly proportional to the Samson belt speed providing the ideal solution where high handling rates are required. In addition, since the Samson conveying rate is directly proportional to the belt speed and bed depth the use of the levelling blade system permits an increased receiving rate.At t he Samson entr y the material bed depth is significantly greater than at the discharge and therefore the receiving rate is greater than the discharge rate by a ratio of typically up to 5 : 1.

High speed loading to the Samson entry 

For example if the ongoing conveyors will handle 200 t.p.h.the Samson may receive at up to 1000 t.p.h.allowing very fast truck discharge...A receiving rate of 1000 t.p.h. will unload a typical 30 ton truck in less than 2 Minutes. As the first truck tips and moves away the second truck may manoeuvre directly into position, during this operation the Samson moves the load forward rapidly to expose the entr y section ready to take the next truck load with minimum delay.The Samson provides a continuous regulated output using the buffer holding capacity to maintain the output between truck deliveries.

Next truck discharges as the load moves forward 

For really fast truck tipping with “Zero-Wait-Time” the high capacity entry version as illustrated opposite allows the complete truck contents to be received within the Samson entry section. Typically in mining application this arrangement may accept trucks up to 100 tons capacity with a Samson holding volume of up to 300 tons of live material. The design of the blade is critical to both shear and lift the material to avoid excessive load to the apron bars, conveyor chain and drive system. High capacity entry 

Controlled Rate Feeder

9 The Samson receives as-dug aggregates providing a controlled rate feed to an overland conveyor. This machine is skid mounted and may be repositioned within the quarry to suit the production requirements. In addition a Grizzly Screen is provided at the Samson discharge to remove oversize material.

Shown above the Samson stor age unit with twin Samson receiving units mounted outside the main building. Material is delivered from the receiving units to the storage system via a B&W belt conveyor system including a travelling plough unit to distribute the material along the full length of the Samson body. To prevent material bridging in the Samson after prolonged storage the tapered body section expanding towards the outlet to guarantee reliable discharge with the option of negative angle side walls for extremely cohesive materials.

Twin 200 ton capacity pasteurisation units 

Material is loaded to the stationar y Samson belt from the overhead conveyor, when the load level reaches a preset height a probe engages the Samson dr ive and the material is moved forward until the probe is clear, this operation continues until the Samson is fully loaded over a timed period allowing the material to cure within the Samson body. Capacities up to 300 tons may be provided in these formats.

Body and Entry Designs

12 Two basic alternative designs are available using either a straight or deflected chassis arrangement. The straight pattern design is ideal for applications receiving from loading shovels or where an increased vehicle ramp is permitted for truck loading applications. The deflected chassis offers improved holding capacity with the minimum vehicle access ramp height and offers improved clearance where dissimilar materials are handled without cross contamination. Where free flowing materials are handled the deflected chassis design allows the material to stabilise on the horizontal section before being elevated to the discharge.

Straight chassis design 

For applications where road truck only deliveries are required the standard parallel entr y is the most economical solution. Where larger dump trucks are used or for loading shovel applications where an increased capacity is required the flare entr y is the preferred solution. The flared entr y gives greater vehicle alignment tolerance offering faster truck unloading and easier vehicle manoeuvring for high capacity applications.

Deflected chassis design 

Combining the flared entry and deflected chassis design significantly increases the entry volume to further reduce truck tipping time. The flared entry is available in various constructions using 6 mm, 12 mm or 20 mm thick steel plate sections to suit the working environment. Various standardised widths of flared entry are available, typically 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 or 6.0 metres in width.

Under Floor O ptions

13 The Samson feeder with drive  over grill discharges to a troughed  belt conveyor using a levelling  blade to regulate the feed rate 

The wide belt Samson principle allows underfloor installation with the absolute minimum of excavation handling even wet and sticky materials without risk of bridging.

Drive Over Grill: For free flowing materials the Samson may be used with a grill above allowing the truck to drive over, tip and continue forward in the same direction avoiding the need to reverse to the unit.This arrangement is ideal for high capacity installations and may be incorporated with a drive-over ramp system for portable applications. For belly-dump trailers this is the only effective solution..

Drive Over Platform:

Drive over grill 

For cohesive materials (where a grill would block) the Samson may be supplied with a hydraulically operated drive over platform system incorporating an automatic safety backstop.The vehicle drives over the closed platform, when the vehicle passes the backstop and platform are raised automatically and the truck may reverse a short distance to the backstop to discharge. In this manner the Samson belt is revealed below without obstructions allowing free passage of material from the truck to the Samson body. Three units of this design are used at the Rugby Cement Works for the raw material reception - handling clay, coal and coke each wit h a holding capacity of 50 tons.

Sub-Floor Installation:

The installation shown here handles biomass fuels within a power generation plant and incorporates a disc screening unit with a Samson sub-screen conveyor below.The primary Samson feeder unit incorporates a levelling blade to control the feed rate to the screen.A total of twelve Samson units were used forming the main raw materials reception facility for the power station. In this application the wide belt Samson design offered the ideal solution for handling this wet and sticky material..

Dust and Fume Control

The unique receiving action of the Samson draws material from the truck in a controlled stream and requires the minimum of dust control equipment. For environmentally sensitive applications a range of enclosures are available to contain any minor dust generation within the Samson body. The partial enclosure is generally extended to the inclined section only and provides control of dust generated at the discharge from the Samson to the ongoing conveyor.

Flexible PVC cover fitted to steel frame over the inclined section only 

A full enclosure provides excellent dust control both at the tipping point and discharge and may be extended around the receiving section for machines fitted with a flared entry. Reverse Jet or shaker type dust filters may be supplied, mounted to the enclosure roof, and provided with an access platform for maintenance of the filter unit.

Partial profiled steel enclosure provided on the inclined section only 

For most applications the profiled steel enclosure is the preferred choice offering a permanent solution with good appearance and generally eliminates the need for any additional building enclosures. For extremely sensitive applications the enclosure may be extended around the vehicle, for ming a tipping booth for absolute security. The profiled steel system comprises a fabricated steel frame bolted direct to the Samson side plates and clad externally in plastic coated steel sheet with flashings and cappings to prevent rain ingress.

Full profiled steel enclosure extended around the Samson flared entry 

For temporar y or mobile applications the flexible PVC covers provide a reasonable level of dust control with minimum cost and weight. In applications handling obnoxious mater ials such as sewage sludge odour control vents may be provided for connection to a centralised odour control system.

Head Chutes and Feeders

16 A comprehensive range of discharge chutes and feeder equipment is available designed specifically to suit the handling characteristics of individual materials. Centralising Chutes may be used with reasonably free flowing materials delivering to a conveyor either in-line with the Samson or at an angle. Parallel Chutes are ideal for handling wet and sticky materials or where the ongoing conveyor or feeder may be positioned at 90 degrees to the Samson. Various types of feeder system may be employed to suit the requirements of each applications as illustrated herein.

Drive Systems

18 The Samson drive comprises a shaft mounted gear unit as illustrated with the option of a standard worm gear for hydraulic drives, a helical wor m for electr ic drives or for special applications a flange mounted helical/bevel gear may be supplied. Gear units may be installed singly on either the left or right sides or for very high performance applications tandem hydraulic drives may be fitted with a gear unit on each side of the head shaft. The Flender range of worm or helical gears have been chosen for their robust construction and proven long term reliability.

Hydraulic drive 

High performance hydraulic  drive with radial piston pump 

The Cooper split roller bearing is a high precision design with high load capacity. The bearing is split into sections allowing simple installation and easy replacement without disturbing the main drive gear unit.

Direct coupled electr ic mot or drives: As shown opposite the Samson may be provided with a conventional electric motor drive coupled to the main reduction gear. This system may be used for applications where the benefits of the hydraulic system are not required or for applications where hydraulic equipment in general is not permitted.

Direct coupled electric motor drive 

Variable speed may be provided using an Inverter unit or for close speed control an eddy-current coupling (Task unit) is available with tachogenerator feedback to provide precise regulation of the discharge rate regardless of load level. The task unit system is particularly suited to the Samson since it provides a wide speed range with constant torque and a degree of drive protection using the integral torque limiting system.

High performance hydraulic drive with electric motor and axial piston  hydraulic pump including load sensing 

For most applications the hydraulic drive system is the preferred option providing automatic torque control and soft starting with the ability to stop/start at high frequency using a solenoid control valve to interrupt the drive to the Samson conveyor. This is G particularly important when the Samson is used as a receiving unit , see page 21 describing the operation of the head chute probe in this application. F In the majority of applications the Samson will be subject to high impact loads with the opportunity for overloading, in these situations the hydraulic drive system absorbs the drive shock and allows precise setting of the drive torque to prevent damage to the driving gear in the event of extreme overload. Load Sensing is an int egral element in the hydraulic drive, in the event of high load levels within the Samson body the hydraulic pressure and flow are automatically regulated to keep the power demand within preset limits preventing overload of the main electric motor/pump drive unit. Using this system the drive motor may be sized to suit the normal machine operation without fear of stalling in the event of short term overload,thus minimising power usage.The load sensing feature may also be used to regulate the Samson output by automatically reducing the belt speed as the load level increases to maintain a partially regulated discharge rate. All hydraulic systems include comprehensive filtration equipment and protection systems.The hydraulic relief valve provides ultimate protection for the drive and hydraulic equipment, this system reacts instantaneously to extreme overload situations by limiting the torque transmission capacity and thus protecting the drive unit and conveyor chains. As a further benefit the hydraulic drive system provides simple local speed control by varying the flow rate to the hydraulic motor.This system may be expanded to include an electrical interface allowing remote setting of the Samson discharge rate using a 4-20 m signal interface.

B - Head chute ultrasonic level detector - Interrupts belt dr ive on high level, restarts on low level. C - Tail shaft rot ation sensor - Stops Samson conveyor if abnormal loss of rotation detected to protect drive system. D - Entry ultrasonic detector - Initiates automatic Samson start-up when vehicle is detected at the entry. E - Hydraulic reser voir instr umentation - Low fluid level or high temperature detectors inhibit the drive. F - Warning beacon - Linked to a drive torque detector to indicate impending overload. G - Traffic lamps - Linked to t he clients process system to indicate the Samson may receive material. H - Microwave barrier - Detects flow of material through the chute to initiate any dosing system installed downstream. J - Chain lube oil solenoid valves for automatic lubrication of the conveyor chains where required. K - Oil filter condition indication - Differential pressure switches on each filter give an electrical indication for filter change.

Electrical Controls

21 The Samson is offered with a range of control options ranging from basic manual control to fully automatic unattended operation: System 1 The entr y level system comprising a standard motor starter and Isolator mounted to a cabinet for the control of the electric motor only.

Optional Electr ical Control System

In this option the belt drive start/stop is controlled only using the manual rotary speed contr ol valve. Generally only applicable to mobile equipment where an operator will be on station to control the machine manually. No instr umentation interfaces are available with this option. System 2

Access doors 

For applications where the Samson will be supplied with a solenoid valve to control the belt with press buttons for belt start/stop. This equipment may be interfaced to the head chute level detector only, not suitable for other instr umentation. Generally used for basic fixed plant for infrequent use where a local operator will be on station to control the machine. System 3

High level probe 

Head chute low level

Probe Control Discharge Using the receiving unit design the head chute probe or ultrasonic level detector is used to control the hydraulic drive solenoid operated control valve interrupting the discharge of the Samson on the high level signal. Typically the handling rate of the Samson will be significantly greater than the handling rate of the feeder conveyor taking material from the head chute. In this situation t he Samson will rapidly charge the head chute until the high level probe touches the material and restarts only after the material has left the probe for a timed period always maintaining a minimum level within the chute.W ith the ultrasonic system the Samson stops on high level and restarts on the low level signal. Using this system the empty Samson may receive at high speed not restricted by the capacity of the ongoing conveyor system.

A comprehensive system which may be used with the full range of instruments listed permitting automatic unattended operation with full interface connections to the associated plant including voltfree connections to remote control systems. Switched Local and Remote control options are provided plus status indication for all instrumentation and drives. This system may be further ext ended to include a PLC with remote communication module to interface with the client’s main plant control system.
