Freewheel assist for a spiral conveyor belt system |
摘要 |
A spiral conveyor belt system generally includes a rotatable cage, a first drive mechanism for rotating the cage about an axis in a first direction, an endless conveyor belt supported by the cage and a rotatable free wheel. The cage drives the conveyor belt along a helical path in a first direction and the rotatable free wheel rotates about an axis in a second direction opposite the first direction for guiding the endless conveyor belt from the cage along a return path and back to the cage. A second drive mechanism is preferably provided for rotating the free wheel. |
