PURPOSE: To simplify the positional adjustment of a discharge port to a silo, by connecting an auxiliary carrier cylinder having a discharge port to the front end of tiltable main carrier cylinder through a universal joint in a flexible pipe and swinging the auxiliary carrier cylinder with a cylinder.
CONSTITUTION: Granular material stored in a tank 1 mounted on a vechicle body 2 is led to a discharge part 4 by a screw conveyor 3, and then led to a silo 6 installed on the ground, by a discharge device 5. In this arrangement, the discharge device 5 comprises a main carrier cylinder 9 consisting of first and second carrier cylinders 7, 8, an auxiliary carrier cylinder 10 positioned in the front part of the main carrier cylinder 9 and screws 11, 12 respectively disposed in the carrier cylinders 9, 10. In case that a discharge port 14 cannot reach the silo 6 only by turning and tilting the first and second carrier cylinders 7, 8, the auxiliary carrier cylinder 10 is swung by extending a cylinder 23 about a universal joint 19 disposed in a flexible pipe 15, thereby the discharge port 14 is adjusted to the silo 6 without the vehicle being moved.
