Estimating the term…
A belt conveyor comprises a belt with a drive roller, a deflection roller that can be adjusted relative thereto upwardly and/or downwardly, and an upper run extending therebetween for transporting the food products. The belt conveyor comprises a deflection element arranged between the drive roller and the deflection roller and configured for adjustment in the direction of transport. The upper and/or the associated lower run of the belt transitions from a first longitudinal section running in the direction of transport to a second longitudinal section tilted relative thereto when the deflection roller has been adjusted. The second longitudinal section can be quickly tilted and flexibly adapted to the dimensions of the food products and their transport distances inbetween.
A belt conveyor for portioned food products comprising a conveyor belt with a drive roller, with a deflection roller which can be adjusted upwardly and/or downwardly relative thereto and relative to a direction of transport that is assumed to be horizontal, and with an upper run extending therebetween for transporting said food products, comprising a deflection element which is arranged in a vertically fixed position between said drive roller and said deflection roller and can be adjusted in a direction of transport and at which said upper run and/or an associated lower run of said conveyor belt transitions from a first longitudinal section extending in said direction of transport to a second longitudinal section angled relative thereto upwardly/downwardly when said deflection roller has been adjusted upwardly/downwardly.
