A conveyor belt using cables integral composite materials forming part of the strip and the profile of which makes it possible to hold the strip closed

摘要

The conveyor belt (3) e.g. for gravel, concrete or other bulk materials has a high tensile strength fibre belt with two edge strips (5,6) running over a drive pulley and a free-wheeling pulley. The edge strips incorporate features e.g. magnetic strips, tongue and groove, mortice and tenon slots which allow the two edges to be held together in the centre of the conveyor run. The edges are brought into engagement by guide rollers which apply lateral and vertical force. The end pullies have two outer drums which are spring loaded to move the edge strips apart thus stretching the belt flat over a central guide drum. ADVANTAGE - The conveyor belt edges can be fastened together in mid travel to simplify the suspension and support structures that are needed when covering difficult terrain.
