conveyor belt

Abstract

Abstract A belt conveyor comprises an endless conveyor belt (1) which, along part of its length, travels in a helical path with a first belt edge (13) along the inside of the helical path, and with a second belt edge (15) along the outside of the helical path. The conveyor belt comprises transverse elements, which carry a wire netting and are interconnected by links located at the first and second belt edges. After leaving the helical path, the conveyor belt travels in a feed-out path (4) up to and partly round a guide roller. Further, the guide roller (19) is adapted to keep the links at the second belt edge (15) spaced apart to a greater extend than the links at the first belt edge (13), such that the wire netting is essentially stretched also closest to the links at the second belt edge (15) as the conveyor belt (1) passes over the guide roller (20, 21)
