摘要 |
The subject of the invention is conveyors with flexible helical brushes. A conveyor according to the invention comprises a cylindrical sheath 4 and, inside the latter, a helical brush composed of flexible bristles 10 which are implanted in a helix configuration on a shaft 11 which is coaxial with the sheath, which is driven in rotation by a gear-motor unit. The entry of the products into the sheath 4 is effected via a tubular pipe 14 which is connected tangentially to the sheath 4 and which emerges in the latter so that the bristles of the brush move in front of the opening of the pipe in the same direction as the products emerging from the pipe. One application is the transportation of very fragile products such as pharmaceutical tablets or soft sweets. <IMAGE>
