Abstract
A mineral material processing plant includes a mineral material processing apparatus and a first conveyor which is arranged to feed the processing apparatus during operation of that processing apparatus. The first conveyor includes a first material transport part, a second material transport part and a pivot by which the second material transport part is fixed in relation to the first material transport part. The first conveyor is pivotable to an operation position in which the transported material is arranged to be fed via a discharge end of the second material transport part to the processing apparatus and to a service position which is in a first pivoting direction in relation to the operation position. In the service position, the projection of the discharge end of the second material transport part is arranged to leave free the lifting center of the processing apparatus when viewed from above. A method for operating a processing plant is also disclosed.
