Patent attributes
A delivery system for feeding particulate matter to a target location at a well site, including a transportable conveyor belt assembly; one or more silos in fluid communication with a particulate supply line, each of the silo inlets extending through a side wall of the respective silo and disposed at a different location from the others along a longitudinal axis of the respective silo; and for each silo an enclosed chute detachably attachable thereto so as to receive into the chute particulate matter gravity fed out of the respective silo and convey such matter into the housing of the conveyor belt assembly. The silos, the chutes and the housing enclose the particulate matter as it passes from the silos through the chutes and conveyor belt assembly to the target location, to inhibit the release of dust generated from movement of the particulate matter from the silos to the target location.
