A conveyor belt system has an endless belt (25) mounted and driven on pulleys (27, 29 and 30). The belt (25) is adapted to receive sticky particulate load (11) at a first location on the upper surface of the underbelt run and can remove a substantial portion of the sticky load at a second location (27) on the underbelt run, to leave only a small remnant portion (32) of the sticky load on the belt (25). The configuration of the belt (25) is such that the surface of the belt upon which the remnant sticky load (32) is conveyed is either facing upwardly or, when facing downwardly, has an underlying portion of the belt (25) to capture any of the remnant sticky load (32) that detaches from the downwardly facing belt (25). |
