CONVEYOR

摘要

A conveyor for conveying materials comprises a plurality of containers (10), at least one endless drive member (12) for driving the containers in an endless circuit, the endless circuit including a filling (26) and a discharge (28) zone, each container being attached to the or each drive member so as to be rotatable relative thereto; means (18, 20) for driving the or each endless member around the endless circuit, a first guide formation (63), and a second complementary guide formation (40, 110). The first and second guide formations are arranged to engage in a region between the filling and discharge zones to maintain each respective container upright in that region, whereby spillage of the container contents in that region can be prevented.
