Device for foerderung thick polyethylene flue masses, in particular, of concrete to remote high points of a building site

摘要

A tower supported conveyor system for conveying materials such as concrete to points of high elevation which includes a support platform mounted on a generally vertical support member; an outwardly extending support member; an endless conveyor belt mechanism, one end of which is pivotally connected to the support platform to allow horizontal and vertical movement of the conveyor; a truss support associated with the conveyor mechanism to prevent lateral bending; and multiple support cables connected to the outwardly extending support member and conveyor assembly to suspend the conveyor assembly below the support member. Preferably the vertical and outwardly extending support members are pivotally connected to allow adjustment of the position of the conveyor. In an additional embodiment, C-shaped support members provide further support for the conveyor by connecting the conveyor with additional support cables depending from the outwardly extending support member. The conveyor belt mechanism is preferably equipped with a side discharge plow to discharge concrete from the conveyor. In addition, the conveyor belt is supported by a pair of rollers arranged in a generally V-shaped and which are adapted to rotate about a vertical axis to alleviate belt misalignment.
