Abstract
The invention relates to a conveyor belt for transporting food products having a packaging composed of a magnetizable material, in particular cans, along a transport direction, wherein the conveyor belt comprises a belt body and a transport belt that runs around the belt body in the operation of the conveyor belt and that has an upper run and a lower run. The belt body is provided with a magnet arrangement that generates a magnetic field that acts in the direction of the upper run of the transport belt and that has a higher value at the belt entry side than at the belt exit side.
Claims19
A conveyor belt for transporting food products having a packaging composed of a magnetizable material along a transport direction, wherein the conveyor belt comprises a belt body and a transport belt that runs around the belt body in the operation of the conveyor belt and that has an upper run and a lower run,
- wherein the belt body is provided with a magnet arrangement that generates a magnetic field that acts in the direction of the upper run of the transport belt and that has a higher value at the belt entry side than at the belt exit side, wherein the magnet arrangement comprises a plurality of permanent magnets that are arranged distributed over the belt body, wherein the belt body has grooves which extend in the transport direction and into which the permanent magnets are inserted.
A conveyor belt for transporting food products having a packaging composed of a magnetizable material along a transport direction, wherein the conveyor belt comprises a belt body and a transport belt that runs around the belt body in the operation of the conveyor belt and that has an upper run and a lower run,
- wherein the belt body is provided with a magnet arrangement that generates a magnetic field that acts in the direction of the upper run of the transport belt and that has a higher value at the belt entry side than at the belt exit side, wherein the magnet arrangement comprises a plurality of permanent magnets that are arranged distributed over the belt body,
- wherein the permanent magnets are arranged in accordance with a pattern having a plurality of columns extending in the transport direction and a plurality of rows extending transversely thereto, with at least three columns and at least three rows each being occupied by a permanent magnet.
A conveyor belt for transporting food products having a packaging composed of a magnetizable material along a transport direction, wherein the conveyor belt comprises a belt body and a transport belt that runs around the belt body in the operation of the conveyor belt and that has an upper run and a lower run,
- wherein the belt body is provided with a magnet arrangement that generates a magnetic field that acts in the direction of the upper run of the transport belt and that has a higher value at the belt entry side than at the belt exit side, wherein the magnet arrangement comprises a plurality of permanent magnets that are arranged distributed over the belt body,
- wherein the belt body is formed in multiple parts with a frame construction and a magnet carrier that can be exchangeably integrated into the frame construction, with the magnet carrier being provided with the magnet arrangement, with a plurality of magnet carriers being provided that differ from one another in the number and/or the arrangement of the permanent magnets and that can be integrated alternatively to one another into the frame construction.
A checkweigher or a price labeler, comprising a conveyor belt for transporting food products having a packaging composed of a magnetizable material along a transport direction, a feed belt connected upstream of the conveyor belt, and a weighing belt connected downstream of the conveyor belt, wherein a control unit is provided that has an operating mode that controls the belts such that the transport speed of the conveyor belt is greater than the transport speed of the feed belt and such that the transport speed of the weighing belt corresponds to the transport speed of the conveyor belt,
- wherein the conveyor belt comprises a belt body and a transport belt that runs around the belt body in the operation of the conveyor belt and that has an upper run and a lower run, and
- wherein belt body is provided with a magnet arrangement that generates a magnetic field that acts in the direction of the upper run of the transport belt and that has a higher value at the belt entry side than at the belt exit side.
