摘要：A system for dispensing bulk material from storage is provided. The system comprises a plurality of stationary storage silos adapted to store the bulk material therein. A plurality of movable hoppers may be moveably positioned adjacent a bulk material chute of each storage silo to unload the bulk material therein. Once loaded with the bulk material, each movable hopper may then be positioned adjacent an input opening of a vehicle to unload the bulk material therein.

主权项：1. A dispensing system for dispensing bulk material in a plant having a plurality of bulk material chutes above a transport vehicle area, the system comprising: at least one longitudinal guide; a plurality of transversal guides each mounted to a corresponding longitudinal guide via a longitudinal movement mechanism and being movable along a longitudinal axis, a plurality of hoppers, each hopper being mounted to a corresponding transversal guide and being movable transversally along the corresponding transversal guide via a transversal movement mechanism, each hopper having an open upper end, a chute opposite the upper end, and a gate allowing to selectively open and close the chute; and a controller configured to individually move of each of the hoppers in a hopper movement area located between the bulk material chutes and the transport vehicle area, both along the transversal axis via the transversal movement mechanism and along the longitudinal axis via the longitudinal movement mechanism, the controller being further configured to selectively open and close the gates; wherein each hopper can be moved to a corresponding position of alignment with a selected bulk material chute with its gate closed to receive a given quantity of bulk material therefrom, and then moved to a position of alignment with a selected bulk receiving area where the gate can be opened to dispense the given quantity of bulk material, independently of the movement of the other hoppers.
