Claim 13:
14. A material processing apparatus, comprising:
a machine body;
a conveyor belt for conveying material, the conveyor belt including a proximal end area adjacent a proximal free end of the conveyor belt and a distal end area adjacent a discharge end of the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt further including a central area between the proximal end area and the distal end area;
an actuating linkage providing a swivel connection of the proximal end area of the conveyor belt to the machine body such that the conveyor belt is movable between a folded-down working position and a folded-up transport position, wherein the actuating linkage includes a first link swivel coupled to the proximal end area of the conveyor belt by a first swivel joint and to the machine body by a second swivel joint and a second link swivel coupled to the proximal end area of the conveyor belt by a third swivel joint and to the machine body by a fourth swivel joint;
an actuator configured to move the conveyor belt between the folded-down working position and the folded-up transport position, wherein the actuating linkage and the actuator are configured such that during swiveling motion of the conveyor belt from the folded-down working position to the folded-up transport position, the proximal free end of the conveyor belt is swiveled and raised against a direction of gravity;
a stop disposed on one of the first and second links and a first counter stop defined on the machine body, the stop and the first counter stop being configured such that in the folded-down working position of the conveyor belt the stop rests against the first counter stop; and
a second counter stop defined on the machine body, the stop and the second counter stop being configured such that in the folded-up transport position of the conveyor belt the stop rests against the second counter stop.
