Conveyor for conveying bulk material

摘要

A conveyor for conveying bulk material has an upward facing transport deck section (5) forming a transport path and a downward facing return section (6) under the transport deck section (5). The conveyor further includes arrays of primary and secondary carrier members (10,11). The primary carrier members (10) are each supported on opposite lateral sides of the loop extends along the loop. Successive ones of the primary carrier members (10) are spaced apart in longitudinal direction of the loop. Successive ones of the secondary carrier members (11) are spaced apart in longitudinal direction of the loop. The primary carrier members (10) each bridge a spacing between successive ones of the secondary carrier members (11); and the secondary carrier members (11) each bridge a spacing between successive ones of the primary carrier members (10) and are supported thereby. <IMAGE>
