CONVEYOR WITH EDGE GUIDES

摘要

A conveyor having a straight section and a curved section comprises a toothed endless thermoplastic belt driven by a drive pulley. The conveyor further comprises a first guide assembly located at the juncture between straight section and the curved section to prevent buckling of an upper span of the belt. A second guide assembly located at the drive pulley also prevents buckling of the belt and prevents premature exiting of an exit tooth on the belt from an exit sheave on the drive pulley to ensure proper drive characteristics.
