A flight conveyor is arranged for conveying a material from one position to another one. The conveyor comprises a frame (1), at least one drive wheel (5) and at least one idler wheel (6) rotatably mounted on the frame (1), a number of segments (3) for supporting the material, a number of shafts (4) for pivotally interconnecting the segments to an endless row which has an upper row part (8) and a lower row part (9) and is running, during operation, over the at least one drive wheel (5) and the at least one idler wheel (6), and a number of conveyor flights (10) for bringing the material along in the conveying direction. The conveyor further comprises that the flights (10) are pivotally mounted on each their shaft (4), that at least one rail (13) is extending between the idler wheel (6) and the drive wheel (5) in an area below the upper row part (8), that at least one slide (11;21), which is mounted on the back of each flight (10), seen in the conveying direction, is slidingly supported by the at least one rail (13), and that a scraper (15) is arranged at the drive wheel (5) for successively scraping off adhered material from segments (3) and flights (10) passing the scraper. The flight conveyor can advantageously be used for conveying products tending to adhere to the surfaces of the segments and the flights since the adhered products are automatically removed when passing the scraper. |
