Abstract:
A system for conveying proppant includes a conveyor assembly having a conveyor belt that receives proppant from one or more containers having proppant stored therein. The system also includes a conveyor auxiliary unit connected to an end of the conveyor assembly having one or more joints to enable expansion and collapse of the conveyor belt from the conveyor assembly. The system further includes a proppant chute to direct the proppant from the conveyor belt into a blending hopper, the proppant chute being positioned at a higher elevation than an inlet of the blending hopper.

Claim (Index 1):
A system to convey proppant at a fracking site, the system comprising:\n a conveyor auxiliary unit connected to an end of a conveyor assembly having one or more joints to enable expansion and collapse of a conveyor belt from the conveyor assembly so as further to extend the conveyor belt and thereby the conveyor assembly; and a proppant chute positioned adjacent an end of the conveyor auxiliary unit, the proppant chute having an opening to direct the proppant from the conveyor belt into a blending hopper when positioned adjacent the conveyor auxiliary unit, the proppant chute to be positioned at a higher elevation than an inlet of the blending hopper such that proppant moving into the proppant chute exits the proppant chute into the blending hopper, the one or more joints of the conveyor auxiliary unit also positioned to enable the conveyor belt to expand to a higher elevation than the blending hopper while the conveyor assembly is positioned relatively close to a ground plane, thereby enabling gravity feed of proppant from the conveyor belt to the blending hopper.
