A belt plough assembly (10) is used to deflect material on a conveyor belt (15). The belt plough assembly (10) comprises a support structure (11), and a blade (13) operatively positioned by the support structure (11) on the material carrying side of the conveyor belt (15) and orientated to deflect or redirect outlying material on a conveyor belt back inside the alignment of the skirts. The support structure (11) comprises a housing having an upright slot (12) within which the blade (13) is slidably mounted. The blade rests on the belt (15) under its own weight, but is freely movable relative to the support structure (11). This enables the blade (13) to maintain contact with the belt (15) and follow any undulations in the belt, and self-adjust for wear on the blade. A damper (16) may be provided for damping movements of the blade. |
