<p>A ring-wound electromagnetic conveyor (1) for transport of articles, comprising: a member (2) for transporting articles, which develops in a closed ring and bears a plurality of permanent magnets (3); a rotatable support (4) about which the transport member (2) partially winds; and a source of an electromagnetic field (5) arranged in proximity of the rotatable support (4) such as to interact with the permanent magnets (3) of the portion of the transport member (2) which winds about the rotatable support (4) and determines a movement of the transport member (2). The source of the electromagnetic field (5) can comprise a plurality of electromagnets (16) arranged such as to follow the geometric profile assumed by the portion of transport member (2) which winds about the rotatable support (4). Further, the electromagnetic conveyor comprises a guide frame (23) which enables realising magnetic levitation of the conveyor member (2) when the member (2) slides upstream and/or downstream of the rotatable support (4).</p> |
