Abstract
A flight conveyor for conveying material includes a frame, drive and idler wheel(s) rotatably mounted on the frame, segments for supporting the material, shafts for pivotally interconnecting the segments to an endless row which has an upper row and a lower row running, during operation, over the drive and idler wheel(s) and a number of conveyor flights for bringing the material along in the conveying direction. A scraper is arranged at the drive wheel for successively scraping off adhered material from segments and flights such that the conveyor can be used for conveying products tending to adhere to the surfaces of the segments and the flights since the adhered products are automatically removed by the scraper.
Claims18
A flight conveyor of the kind which is arranged for conveying a material from one position to another, comprising,
- a frame,
- at least one drive wheel and at least one idler wheel rotatably mounted on the frame,
- a number of segments for supporting the material,
- a number of shafts for pivotally interconnecting the segments to an endless row which has an upper row part and lower row part and is running, during operation, over the at least one drive wheel and the at least one idler wheel, and
- a number of conveyor flights for bringing the material along in the conveying direction, wherein:
- the flights are pivotally mounted on each shaft,
- the segment behind each flight is formed with a least one through slit which fits the slide on the flight,
- at least one rail is extending between the idler wheel and the drive wheel in an area below the upper row part,
- at least one slide, which is mounted on the back of each flight, seen in the conveying direction, is slidingly supported by the at least one rail,
- removing means is arranged at the drive wheel for successively removing adhered material from segments and flights passing the removing means during operation, and
- the flights can pivot freely around their shaft when transported between the removing means and the at least one rail.
A flight conveyor of the kind which is arranged for conveying a material from one position to another, comprising,
- a frame,
- at least one drive wheel and at least one idler wheel rotatably mounted on the frame,
- a number of segments for supporting the material,
- a number of shafts for pivotally interconnecting the segments to an endless row which has an upper row part and lower row part and is running, during operation, over the at least one drive wheel and the at least one idler wheel, wherein the shafts of the flight conveyor are connected to two opposite chains placed at each their side of the rows of segments, and that each chain, during operation, is running over a drive sprocket and an idler sprocket rotatably mounted on the frame of the conveyor belt, and
- a number of conveyor flights for bringing the material along in the conveying direction, wherein:
- the flights are pivotally mounted on each shaft,
- at least one rail is extending between the idler wheel and the drive wheel in an area below the upper row part,
- at least one slide, which is mounted on the back of each flight, seen in the conveying direction, is slidingly supported by the at least one rail,
- a scraper is arranged at the drive wheel for successively removing adhered material from segments and flights passing the scraper during operation, and
- the flights can pivot freely around their shaft when transported between the scraper and the at least one rail.
