Abstract:
Food process-line coating apparatus for coating a stream of food product in a food process line are provided with the improvement of a permanently-installed internal cleaning-fluid circuit and a plurality cleaning-fluid distribution devices. The cleaning-fluid distribution devices are any of a rotary spray head, a spherical spray nozzle, a rotary frame or a tubular (cylindrical) rotary manifold. The rotary spray head optionally has a multitude of flat spray nozzles mounted along the arms. The spherical spray nozzle might be mounted on a columnar base, and a plurality of those might stand like pickets and aimed a laterally-extending target, like a conveyor belt's nose roller. The rotary frame might have a spaced pair of parallel manifold tubes that rotate about a common axis. The tubular (cylindrical) rotary manifold preferably has a multitude of ports or nozzles distributed at spaced locations on its outer sidewall.
Abstract:
An unloading conveyor system for unloading grain through the floor of a grain bin. A removeable cover is vertically supported by the plurality of ribs to cover the span of the midpan to allow maintenance. The midpan comprises a plurality of slots and ledges to receive and support the ribs to allow easy installation and maintenance. A central pit having an internal portion and an access support wall also provides easy installation and maintenance. The first bearing mount, second bearing mount, and roller are all accessible for service through the internal portion of the central pit.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a drive station for a device for conveying bulk material, the drive station comprising: - a housing, which has a base plate and side walls, at least one side wall having at least one opening for the passage of a conveying means for conveying the bulk material along a passage path; and — a drive for moving the conveying means, the drive being disposed in the housing. A preferably movable intermediate base having openings is disposed below the passage path and above the base plate in the vertical direction.
Abstract:
In a self-propelled cold milling machine, in particular cold milling machine, for working ground surfaces, with a milling drum supported at a machine frame, no less than one conveying device arranged at the machine frame which accepts the milled-off material from the milling drum and discharges said milled-off material, in conveying direction, at a discharge end along a parabolic trajectory onto a point of discharge, it is provided for the following features to be achieved: that the conveying device comprises a shielding device at the discharge end, where said shielding device shields the material milled off and leaving the conveying device without influencing the parabolic trajectory on a part of the path to the point of discharge at least by means of lateral sections.
Abstract:
Closed conveyor belt with a housing (2) that encloses a conveyor belt (11) that can be set in motion by a drive, characterized in that both edges (22) of the conveyor belt (11), that extend in the direction of movement (P) of the conveyor belt, extend through the housing (2) by a protruding section (23) that extends through slots (24) provided to this end in the housing (2).
Abstract:
A side wall and cover system is provided for use with conveyor assemblies in order to minimize dust dispersion that tends to concentrate around conveyor equipment when aggregate and particulate materials are deposited onto and transported by a conveyor belt. To that end, the present invention utilizes conveyor rollers that are centrally positioned on corresponding support members which also support a pair of angled wings each side of each roller. These angled wings support impact bars that run on each side of conveyor and are aligned in the direction of conveyor movement and support a troughing configuration for the conveyor belt. Side walls are secured to the angled wings and the side walls include an upper surface to which a cover is releasably secured. Seals and gaskets are positioned between confronting surfaces of these components to prevent dust particulates from emanating between the surfaces. The side wall configuration provides additional conveying volume at the sides of the conveyor and a roller hanger is also provided to facilitate the servicing or replacement of such rollers without the need to lift the conveyor belt. A series of side wall/cover systems can be releasably secured together using side wall-projecting flanges and interlocking tabs for the covers.
Abstract:
The invention is an auger hopper attachment that can be positioned immediately adjacent a grain hopper outlet to reduce grain loss during transfer. The hopper comprises an adjustable stand that can be used to adjust the vertical position of the hopper to raise it toward the grain hopper outlet.
Abstract:
A side cover is provided for a conveyor. The side cover includes a first edge and a second edge. The second edge is substantially parallel to the first edge. Further, a magnet is coupled to the first edge. The magnet is configured to couple the side cover to the conveyor.
Abstract:
A hood assembly is provided for a conveyor having a housing with an inlet opening, a belt or auger for transporting particulate material through the housing from the inlet end to the outlet end. The hood assembly includes a hood pivotally mounted to the housing for movement between a closed position substantially closing the inlet end and an open position substantially exposing the inlet end. When the hood is opened, the inlet end of the conveyor housing can be visually inspected and physically cleaned to remove particulate material remnants remaining in the inlet end after the conveyor is shut off. A hopper is provided on the hood to facilitate introduction of material into the conveyor.
Abstract:
An assembly to connect a main conveyor body to a discharge end of the conveyor including: a basic frame of the discharge end mountable to platform, and an adjusting frame of the discharge end pivotably attached to the basic frame and including a mounting bracket configured to attach the main conveyor body to the basic frame, wherein the adjusting frame pivots with respect to the mounting bracket to establish a selected set angle β between the basic frame and the main conveyor body.
