An externally adjustable internal wearliner assembly for a material conveying system comprising:
- a first wearliner having a load side and a mounting side, the mounting side of the wearliner including a first mounting member extending outward from the mounting side;
- and,
- a first externally mountable camming mechanism connectable to the first mounting member wherein the first wearliner is configured to be positioned on an interior side of a first skirt portion of a conveying system and the camming mechanism is configured to be positioned on an external side of the first skirt portion, and wherein movement of the camming mechanism one of raises and lowers the first wearliner when mounted to the first skirt portion.
A bulk material conveying system having an externally adjustable internal wearliner comprising:
- a bulk material conveying system including a moveable belt for transporting material, a first substantially vertical chute wall proximate a first side of the belt, the first chute wall having a load facing side and an exterior side, the first chute wall having a lower portion positioned above an upper surface of the belt;
- a first wearliner assembly connected to the lower portion of the first chute wall, the first wearliner assembly including a skirt extension connected to the lower portion of the first chute wall, the skirt extension including a vertical wall portion extending down from and aligned with the lower portion of the first chute wall and having a plurality of mounting openings, the vertical wall portion having a load facing side and an exterior side;
- a wearliner positioned against the load facing side of the vertical wall portion and having a plurality of first mounting members extending outward from the wearliner through the openings in the vertical wall portion, and a plurality of first adjustable cams connected to the first mounting members on the exterior side of the vertical wall portion.
