Abstract
The invention concerns an apparatus for charging at least one top-loading crusher (1) with material which is fed batchwise by a plurality of transport vehicles (2) and is introduced into the crusher (1) by a bucket (5) which is loaded in each case by at least one transport vehicle (2) in a receiving position (A) adapted to the plane of movement of the transport vehicle (2) and can be raised into a transfer position (B) in which the bucket (5) is tipped in order to empty it into the crusher (1), the crushed material being withdrawn from the crusher (1) by means of a conveyance device (3). The crusher (1) is arranged on a transportable supporting framework (4) on which at least two buckets (5) acting as intermediate bunkers can be raised and lowered in order to produce a continuous charging of material for the crusher (1), the buckets feeding the charge material to a receiving hopper (7) which serves as further intermediate bunker and is arranged in front of the crusher (1), as seen in the direction of the flow of the material.
