Conveyor belt formed into hose - uses antifriction guides without rollers where shape or direction are altered

摘要

The conveyor comprises a belt of rubber or similar plastic and contg. continuous reinforcing members running in the lengthwise direction. Supporting rollers in a ring round it/do form it into a hose, with its edges overlapping. Where the direction or shape of the belt is altered, and partic. where it is opened or shut, a guide system without rollers and of antifriction material is used. This can consist of one or more guide belts, or alternatively of wearing plates or rails, typically of Teflon or polyethylene. ADVANTAGE - Simplicity and reduced wear. (Dwg.0/1)
