Abstract:
A belt and a belt conveyor are provided for transporting particulate material and especially oilseeds up the belt conveyor. The belt conveyor can include an intake end having a hopper, a discharge end, a body extending between the intake end and the discharge end and a belt. The belt travels along a travel path in the belt conveyor; the belt traveling through the hopper, up an upper run in the body to the discharge end, down a return run in the body, and back through the hopper. The belt can have a top surface having pairs of adjacent ridges provided on the top surface, each ridge having a pair of arms extending from a point, in a travel direction of the belt, wherein each pair of adjacent ridges define a v-channel on the top surface of the belt.
Abstract:
A plurality of transport lines having driving belts are driven to transport specimen racks on which a specimen container is disposed. A single driving motor having a rotating shaft, a shaft for transmitting power of the driving motor, drives the driving belt and a plurality of pulleys transmit rotation of the shaft to the belts to drive the belts.
Abstract:
A drive device for a belt conveyor device includes a drive pulley, a first pulley, a second pulley, a support frame, and a drive motor. The drive pulley has a drive shaft direction length less than a plurality of previously set belt widths of the endless belt and has the driving shaft direction length being set to a same length regardless of the plurality of previously set belt widths of the endless belt. Axial lengths of the first pulley and the second pulley are set to the same length as the axial lengths of the head pulley and the tail pulley. The support frame is rotatably attached to the first pulley and the second pulley. The drive motor hung from a lower surface of the support frame in order for the drive pulley to be positioned at an approximately center portion in a width direction of the endless belt.
Abstract:
An intermediate drive for a conveyor system is disclosed. The drive includes at least one, and preferably a plurality of spaced parallel drive sprockets gang mounted on a common drive shaft. In the preferred embodiment, each sprocket engages a separate conveyor belt to drive it in the same direction in an endless path along a conveyor guide rail. Each guide rail includes a recessed portion that preferably matches the contour of the corresponding sprocket. By juxtaposing each sprocket in the recessed portion, engagement between each drive sprocket and the corresponding modular link belt is made. The drive may also be used along a curved section of the conveyor system, in which case the drive sprockets have different diameters for driving the belts at different speeds, and the contour of the recessed portions correspond to the adjacent drive sprocket.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a curved belt conveyor, which comprises a curved belt between rollers, guide rollers supporting the inner peripheral edge of the curved belt, a driving roller set in the outer peripheral section of the curved belt, a pinch roller for pressing the forward run side of the curved belt against the driving roller, and a pinch roller for pressing the return run side of the curved belt against the driving roller. The pinch rollers are supported with their axial centers inclined with respect to the reference line. With the pinch rollers inclined to contact the curved belt, the outer peripheral section of the curved belt is driven towards the outside of turning, thereby preventing bulging and zigzag movement of the curved belt.

Abstract:
The present report is about the patent of an innovative system utilized in the transportation, load and unload of grains or seeds for silos of storage, dryers and industrial units, being able to be installed directly in vertical silos and or adapted in the conventional principles of transportation as a group or independently, consisting of limits of change of direction and composed by driving and motor gears and points of load and unload respectively, generally established in the extremities of the assembly, hopper of load formed by an upper opening and double system of unload composed by floodgates arranged in the periphery of both intervals of the pipes and provided in transit or channels.
Abstract:
A conveyor includes a frame having first and second spaced frame elements, first and second drive rollers between the frame elements, and a flexible belt mounted between the first and second drive rollers that has a load bearing portion and a return portion, the return portion extending between the first and second frame elements. The conveyor has a first end portion including the first drive roller, a second end portion including the second drive roller and a central portion including a midpoint between the first drive roller and the second drive roller, and the central portion of the conveyor includes a lift-table receiving space between the first drive roller and the second drive roller and between the first frame element and the second frame element, and the return portion of the belt extends between the load bearing portion and the lift-table-receiving space.

Abstract:
Sorting devices are successively guided along a sorting line and driven by means of a conveyor system. Each sorting device has a running carriage with running rollers guided in the sorting line's guide rails. In addition, the sorting device contains a means for receiving and ejecting individual parceled articles sent from a loading station. The conveyor system comprises a chain having chain links with flat undersides which are movably connected to each other. The chain links are rigidly connected to each running carriage of the sorting devices and project beyond these sorting devices in a transport direction. The joints between successive chain links are each bridged on their underside by a pre-tensioned leaf spring. The driving means is a friction wheel drive with a friction wheel engaging the chain links on their undersides. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, one chain link is rigidly connected to each of the running carriages of the sorting devices. Here, the conveyor system comprises a friction surface drive with at least three rotating elements each having a contact pressure-applying periphery that revolves about rotation axles. The rotation axles are connected with a rigid carrier and are spaced apart from each other along the sorting line so that the contact pressure-applying periphery of at least two of the rotating elements always non-positively cooperates with the contact pressure-receiving surface of at least one chain link.
