Abstract:
A twist correction device for a pipe conveyor having an endless transfer belt whose at least part is rounded in a pipe shape enclosing therein a material to be transferred. The device includes a plurality of correction rollers obliquely inclined relative to the transfer direction of the transfer belt and in pressure contact with the outer circumferential surface of the pipe-shaped transfer belt to apply correcting force to the belt for correcting twisting of the belt. The device further includes two roller support frames supporting the plurality of correction rollers and pivotally connected to a stationary support frame rotatably about axes perpendicular to the transfer direction of the transfer belt. The device includes an angle adjusting device provided on the stationary support frame for adjusting rotated angles of the roller support frames about the axes, thereby correcting twisting of the pipe-shaped transfer belt. The angle adjusting device is manually driven or automatically power driven.
Abstract:
A tubular belt conveyor system includes a conveyor belt having a cross-sectionally closed, curvilinear, tubular configuration including a zone of overlapping edge portions. A plurality of support and guide assemblies for the conveyor are situated along the conveyor path. Each assembly includes a plurality of support and guide rollers held about the cross-sectionally closed conveyor belt in a contacting relationship therewith. In each assembly one roller is in engagement with the cross-sectionally closed conveyor belt at the edge overlap. The closed tubular configuration in each length portion of the conveying path has an oval cross section. The support and guide rollers force the conveyor belt into the closed tubular configuration of oval cross section. The first support and guide roller of each assembly is settable onto the zone of overlapping edge portions.
Abstract:
A slide cushion for absorbing shocks and supporting conveying belts, particularly at conveying belt transfers, with at least one lengthways oriented base plate and at least one supporting plate, whereby the base plate is furnished with a sliding surface layer and at least one elastic shock absorbing layer, a universal employment and a simple carrying out of servicing and replacement of worn parts is possible in that the base plate and the supporting plate are furnished with corresponding projections and indentations and the base plate is attached to the supporting plate in a form-locking and detachable manner. At the same time the supporting plate can, by means of the opposing longitudinal and lateral stays which lock and clamp together, fit in an optimal position under the conveying belt.
Abstract:
An air permeable, continuous conveyor belt for conveying a tobacco rod in a cigarette rod machine including parallel warp threads (31) and parallel sections (30a) of weft threads (30), the intersection points of which are in a regular grid. At least one warp thread (31) and/or at least one weft thread (30) includes at least one carrier fiber and at least one melt fiber. The bonding points (32) achieved by melting of the intersection points are arranged in linear fashion. As a result, selective adhesion of the weft threads to the warp threads can prevent the separation of individual fiber particles without reducing the air permeability of the belt.
Abstract:
An impact slider-type idler for use in the transition section of a bulk material conveyor supports the belt against the impact of material to be conveyed in the transition section and, at the same time, guides the belt from the tail pulley of the conveyor into the desired troughing angle. The slider of this invention employs a plurality of support members extending transversely of the direction of movement of the belt, in side-by-side relation. The support members are formed with T-shaped supports along the upper surface, which supports are inclined to define an increment of change in the troughing angle. Each of the support members carries on the T-shaped supports polymeric segments or blocks which extend transversely of the belt. The angle formed by each section progressively supports the belt between the flat condition as it leaves the tail pulley to a fully troughted position as it exits the transition zone.
Abstract:
An endless conveyor for moving material from a first position to a second position comprises a guide which includes a first and second track spaced apart a predetermined distance for defining a path of travel. A plurality of substantially flat surface transport carriers are positioned in a side-by-side relationship. Each substantially flat surface transport carrier includes a first end disposed adjacent to a first track and a second end disposed adjacent to a second track. A drive member engages and pushes each individual substantially flat surface transport carrier and imparts movement thereto along the path of travel defined by the guide.
Abstract:
An apparatus for conveying grain is disclosed, which includes a conveying belt disposed to extend through a cylinder for movement with the inner wall surface of the cylinder as a guide in order to prevent scattering of dust generated as grain is conveyed and also to permit conveying of a great quantity of grain.
Abstract:
A bucket conveyor having a guide track, a plurality of independent buckets slidably engaged with the guide track and a driving mechanism that directly engages each bucket of the plurality of buckets during their movement around the guide track. The guide track is provided with a detachable segment which allows the removal of buckets from and the addition of buckets to the bucket elevator.
Abstract:
A conveyor system comprising a series of buckets supported by a chain along a predetermined endless path having straight portions and at least one internal curve. An individual pivoting arm supports a respective bucket on the chain. Each pivoting arm is pivotally attached to the entrainment means at a first end in fixed orientation to the chain, and pivotally supports the bucket at the opposite, second end. A chain guide engages the chain in advance of an internal curve in the path to cause the second end of the pivoting arm to which the bucket is attached to pivot outwardly and the buckets in turn to follow a diverging curved path of greater radius than the radius of the curve in the path being transited and thereby space the buckets further apart prior to negotiating the internal curve in the path than when the buckets are proceeding along a straight portion of the path.
Abstract:
A belt clamp type unloader includes a vertical-horizontal conveyor assembly having a vertically extending portion and a horizontally extending portion, and a scraping section disposed at a position below a lower end of the conveyor assembly. In the conveyor assembly, two endless flat belts are combined such that their respective conveyance faces are superposed face-to-face with each other. Two tail pulleys are rotatably disposed at the lower ends of the vertically extending portions, and are spaced apart from each other transversely with respect to the direction of the breadth of the flat belt conveyor. A pair of pulleys which have a small diameter middle portion and large diameter opposite end portions are rotatably supported near to the lower ends of the flat belt conveyors but above the tail pulleys so as to press the flat belts into contact with each other, and another pulley is disposed at a bent portion at which the vertical portion meets the horizontal portion. The scraping section includes a pair of paddle feeders for spattering a material upwardly; and side covers for preventing the material from being scattered sideways. Accordingly, since it is ensured that a cross-sectional area suitable for conveyance is formed between the flat belts, any form of bulk material is stably and efficiently conveyed.
