Apparatus is disclosed for securing a filter bag in hanging suspension through an opening in a baffle plate in a bag housing, including a cover plate having an upwardly extending mouth and a downwardly extending sleeve, a pair of U-shaped clamps constraining the bag against the cover plate, and tensile spring members connected between the U-shaped clamps and over the cover plate.

Filter bag clamp

Disclosed is a vehicle carrying a grinder-mixer providing a low bin profile and improved mixing through the use of complementing horizontal and vertical circulatory paths of the ground feed, which is produced by a pair of cooperating parallel auger conveyors extending in a horizontal plane along the bottom of the mixing bin in side by side relationship and rotating so as to move the feed in opposite directions, each feeding the other, in cooperation with a pair of vertical cooperating augers spaced axially of the horizontal augers and moving and mixing the ground feed along a circulatory path in vertical planes, the said horizontal and vertical circulatory paths intersecting to thereby greatly increase the mixing action. One of the horizontal augers is connected to a discharging system and is reversible to cooperate with the latter to empty the bin.
