<p>A belt conveyor for transporting bulk material in open air and particularly in hilly grounds comprises support and guide devices (15, 16) for the load run (5) and the return run (6) of its transport belt (4), devices which are carried respectively by a pillar (14) anchored individually in the ground (7) because of the absence of a carrier frame between the two terminal stations (2, 3) of the belt conveyor. Between the pillars (14) arranged in the same way as for a cable car at a sufficiently large interval of at least 5 m, the conveyor belt (4) is freely suspended. Since a trough-like guiding of the transport belt (4) is not here possible, a belt with undulated edges is used, that is to say a transport belt (4) with a transversally stable belt body (20) on the carrier side of which are arranged two longitudinally continuous undulated flanges (21).</p> |
