Abstract:
The apparatus is provided for separating bulk material, in particular in the form of packages, from a bulk material container. The apparatus has a first belt conveyor for conveying the bulk material from a bulk material container, and a downstream second belt conveyor, oriented at an angle about a vertical axis, relative to the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor, for conveying away the bulk material. The first belt conveyor has a plurality of separately actuatable discharging conveyor belts arranged parallel to one another. The apparatus has an electronic control device which is configured to drive the discharging conveyor belts in each case intermittently such that units of the bulk material are each transferred to the second belt conveyor at discrete time intervals and/or distances.

Claim (Index 20):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a bulk material unloading apparatus for receiving bulk material, which\n is arranged upstream of the first belt conveyor, \n has a bulk material container which is pivotable into an end position inclined with respect to the horizontal, wherein the bulk material container, \n has a tipping edge for transferring the bulk material onto the first belt conveyor, the tipping edge being arranged next to the first belt conveyor at least in an inclined end position of the bulk material unloading apparatus, and \n has a variable-height bottom surface which is arranged for pushing the bulk material in the direction of the tipping edge, \n wherein the bulk material unloading apparatus also includes a belt conveyor, in the form of a trickle belt, for transferring the bulk material to the first belt conveyor; and wherein the belt conveyor for transferring the bulk material is arranged on the bulk material container at the tipping edge; or is arranged in a fixed upstream position adjoining the first belt conveyor.
