Curved path conveyor for e.g. French stick bread, has transport plane located in between conveyor chains to ensure orientation of transported goods remains unchanged

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# A transport plane (12) is located in between the conveyor chains (4, 5), which protrude upwards relative to this plane. #CMT# : #/CMT# The conveyor comprises a first chain conveyor with a first radius of curvature and a second chain conveyor with a second radius of curvature less than the first one. The drive mechanism for the chain conveyors is designed to move the first conveyor at a higher speed than the second one. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# For transporting elongate goods (e.g. French stick bread) along a curved or arc-shaped path. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The orientation of the goods being transported by the conveyor does not change during transport. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The figure shows a cross-section of the conveyor being used to transport French stick bread. 4, 5 : chains 12 : transport plane.
