CONVEYOR

摘要

A conveyor for conveying piece goods through a helical path in upright direction comprises a frame and an endless conveyor belt having a conveying part guided in the helical path and a return path. The conveyor belt includes substantially rigid support members movably coupled to each other and having an upper transport face. The support members are coupled to each other at their adjacent edges and are also interconnected at their radially outer edge by means of a strengthening element extending in the conveying direction. At least a number of support members is provided with at least a guide roller rotatable about a rotation axis and adapted to roll along a helical guide surface guiding the rollers in substantially radial direction. The guide rollers are positioned near the radially outer edge.
