Drive station in tubular conveyor for dry fodder has returning pipe of conveyor circuit coming in at tangent to semi-circular area of drive housing set above drive wheel

摘要

The drive housing (5) has above the drive wheel (4) a semi-circular shape whose centre lies on the centre axis of the drive wheel and thus offers a large area for connecting the returning conveyor pipe at the end of the conveyor circuit which has to be at a tangent to the partial circle of the drive wheel. The tension device (27) for the conveyor element (26) is separated spatially from the chamber of the drive wheel.
