Embodiment Construction

[0008] figure 1 A sprocket useful for a belt conveyor system embodying features of the present invention is shown. The sprocket 10 has a central axial bore 12 and an outer periphery 14 . Two sets 16, 17 of teeth 18 extend radially outwardly from the periphery 14 for engaging and diverting the direction of the conveyor belt. In this example, the teeth in each set are spaced circumferentially about the circumference of the sprocket. The teeth in the first set 16 are circumferentially and axially offset relative to the teeth in the second set 17 . As another example, a sprocket with only a single circumferential row of teeth could be used. Alternatively, a pulley with a toothed outer surface can be used like a sprocket. Thus, one or more sprockets or wide rollers can be used as deflection elements for the conveyor belt.

[0009] Each tooth 18 extends radially outward from a root end 20 at an alveolar floor 22 between successive teeth to a distal tip 24 . The tooth groove fl...

Abstract

A belt conveyor comprising a foraminous conveyor belt wrapped around sprockets and a method for helping release products adhering to the conveyor belt. The belt has openings through its thickness and across its length and width that admit sprocket teeth. The whole depth of the teeth is greater than the thickness of the belt so that the teeth protrude past the conveying side of the belt and help release the products off the end of the belt by pushing the products away from, and breaking their adherence to, the conveying side.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention relates generally to power driven conveyors, and more particularly to belt conveyors with sprocket driven modular conveyor belts. [0002] Perforated modular belts are commonly used to convey food. Parts of the food product may break off and become lodged in the sides of the openings located in the perforated belt. Cleaning conveyor belts to remove and remove this debris is time consuming. Another problem arises when conveying food products coated with fat, grease or viscous liquids. For example, slabs or slices of bacon tend to stick to the conveying surface of the conveyor belt at the end of the conveyor belt run. If they get attached to the belt as it winds around the end sprockets, they will not continue on to the downstream conveyor. Contents of the invention [0003] One form of conveyor embodying features of the invention includes a conveyor belt having openings spaced across its width and extending through its thi...
