Abstract
The conveyor device comprises a support, a magnetic driving unit at the support, and an at least substantially sealed conveyor unit demountably supportable on the support. The conveyor unit includes a magnetic drivable unit magnetically drivable by the said magnetic driving unit, and an endless conveyor belt extending around two spaced apart rollers. At least one of the rollers is drivable by the said drivable unit. The conveyor unit is thus preferably demountable from the support for cleaning without requiring disconnection of a physical drive and/or electrical feed extending between the conveyor unit and the support. Additionally, a weighing element is preferably provided at the support to dynamically weigh an item as it moves along the conveyor unit.
