Bulk grain conveyor belt consists of capture cells in linked trays

摘要

An endless conveyor belt moves around reverse rollers (31) and is powered by motorised rollers (30). The belt surface incorporates numerous open cells to capture moving bulk solids. The belt is made of linked and hinged sections, each one of which forms a flat tray (5) with pocket-like open cells (21). The trays swing out of the plane of the moving endless belt under control at pre-determined positions to release the collected bulk solid grains from the cells into a hopper.
