A support station of a belt conveyor, the support station comprising:
- a frame;
- at least two support rollers adapted to support a conveyor belt running longitudinally from an upstream side of the support rollers to a downstream side of the support rollers, the at least two support rollers being rotatably mounted on the frame about respective axes of rotation substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and being transversely separated by at least one gap, nip angles being formed between the at least two support rollers and the conveyor belt when the conveyor belt rests on the at least two support rollers;
- and
- a nip angle protector, comprising for each support roller a roller guard placed longitudinally opposite said support roller on an upstream side of said support roller, and, for the or each gap, a gap protector placed longitudinally opposite said gap on an upstream side of said gap.
