Abstract: An elastic web belting is formed into a continuous loop for insertion on a conveyor frame which is formed with a cantilevered construction so the preformed complete loops can be installed on the frame without welding or cutting. The composite belt has an inner belt which is connected to an outer L-shaped belt by an array of angled spoke belts. The L-shaped outer belt engages with two outer pulleys such that the spokes extend over the tops of the pulleys. As the composite belt makes the turn in the conveyor, the spoke belts are elastically stretched, thereby conveying the carried product through the corner.

Abstract: A series of narrow and tall above-ground stainless steel tanks define independent brining cells into which cheese blocks are conveyed by common inlet and outlet flumes. Each cell has a removable conveyor assembly having a looped plastic link belt driven around a frame by an electric motor. Projecting plastic flights on the belt engage infed cheese blocks, and submerge a series of rows of blocks. An infeed flume delivers a stream of cheese blocks to a cell. Once a level below a flight is filled, the conveyor is actuated to submerge that level, and the next level is then filled until the tank is filled. After brining, the conveyor is incremented to discharge the cheeses flight by flight into an outlet flume.

Abstract: Above-ground tanks form brining cells into which cheese blocks are conveyed by common inlet and outlet flumes. Each cell has a removable conveyor assembly having a looped link belt driven around a frame by a motor. Perpendicular, tubular, or hinged segmented flights project from the belt to engage infed cheese blocks, and submerge a series of rows of blocks. An infeed flume delivers a stream of cheese blocks to a cell. Once a level below a flight is filled, the conveyor is actuated to submerge that level, and the next level is then filled until the tank is filled. After brining, the conveyor is incremented to discharge the cheeses flight by flight into an outlet flume. The flume may have a lower segment narrower than an upper segment, such that by draining the tank smaller cheese blocks may be better controlled.

Abstract: A plurality of reinforced urethane belts define a conveyor path which changes direction for causing conveyed articles to turn a corner. Two sets of corner pulleys are mounted as part of a conveyor assembly which is cantilevered out over a rigid frame. Return pulleys are mounted to the frame beneath the corner pulleys. Continuous looped belts which have been preformed to a desired length, different for each set of corner pulleys, are installed on the corner turn by being passed over the projecting cantilevered conveyor assembly and fitted to the corner pulleys and a return pulley. The return pulleys move radially in slots and are tightened in place to achieve the desired belt tension.
