It depends on your current layout but, presuming that the existing discharges are fairly close together and the new line can be taken from the centre, you could fit a variable speed screw feeder with left and right hand flights to collect a controlled amount of around 2.5 Te/hr from each discharge point and discharge to the centre. The 5 Te/hr balance of the feed rates will overspill the feeder inlets to the present collecting point.

For a more awkward layout you can use two separate feeders, in which case the potential is much more flexible.

A rougher approach would be to takes the existing discharges onto a shallow, flat chute and fit an adjustable diverter blade. However, transfer conveyors would then be needed to move the take-off to the location required, unless there is plenty of height available to do this by chute. ■
