A conveyor system providing an improved skirting arrangement which enables easy adjustment of the skirtboards to compensate for wear and to accommodate to varying conveyor configurations having a conveyor belt (21) having a substantially horizontal segment with hopper walls (26) overlying the segment and providing a hopper channel (25) terminating at a distance above the belt to provide clearance space below the hopper walls, and a skirtboard (74) mounted on said hopper walls, projecting into said clearance spaces and terminating in flexible sealing flaps (75) confronting the upper surface of said belt (21) to limit the flow of particulate material (M) through the clearance space. The hopper walls (26) have upwardly-directed guide tracks (37) on their outward sides to receive elongated slides (44) for longitudinal displacement in the associated track (37). The skirtboard (74) extends transversely to and between adjacent slides (44) to position its flexible sealing flaps (75) in confronting relation to said conveyor (21). A bracket (54) is pivotally supported (47) by the slide (44) to mount the skirtboard (74) and has releasable latch means (55) to forcibly engage said skirtboard (74) with the hopper wall adjacent the lower edge (27) thereof. The skirt (75) may be adjusted by temporarily releasing the latches (55). |
