Problems solved by technology

[0005] Problems can arise in pasteurizers where bottles break as they pass through the retort heating zone on modular conveyors due to poor glass quality and / or temperature swings
Excessive build-up of shattered glass on the sprockets can prevent the chain from meshing with the sprockets and cause the belt to jump over the teeth on the sprockets, adversely affecting the operation of modular conveyor belts and even causing catastrophic failure of the modular conveyor belt
Also, another problem with broken glass is that it can cause excessive wear on sprockets and belt components

Embodiment Construction

[0017] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a sprocket driven conveyor belt 10 is formed from a belt assembly 16 which may be used as a pasteurizer conveyor. The continuous belt 10 is driven by a drive sprocket 12 having teeth 24 which engage each assembly 16 to propel the belt 10 in the desired direction—from the beginning of the conveyance (not shown) to the end of the conveyance (not shown). shown) movement. The sprocket teeth 24 have a novel tooth profile that reduces particle buildup on the belt assembly 16 and sprocket 12 .

[0018] The modular conveyor belt 10 is made up of a number of adjacent modules 16 which are connected transversely by hinge pins 18 in the direction of travel of the conveyor. Assembly 16 forms a conveying product support surface 20 which may be 20 feet or more in width and 100 feet or more in length. The surface of the product support surface 20 is facing upwards when the product is being transported, such as a glass bottle or other container, and downwa...

Abstract

A drive sprocket (12) for use with a belt module (16) having a lower surface (40), and a pocket (22) formed in the lower surface (40) having a drive surface (26) and a recessed surface (23) includes a base having an outer periphery (29) rotatable about an axis (31), and a plurality of teeth (24) extending radially from the outer periphery. Relief areas (36) formed between the teeth (24) collect particles falling from the belt (10). At least one tooth includes a drive surface (28) for engaging the module drive surface (26), and a top. Tooth sides (48) extend from said top and toward said base.

Description

[0001] Related applications for reference [0002] This application claims priority to Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 131,152, filed April 27,1999. [0003] Statements about searches not yet sponsored by the U.S. federal government Background technique [0004] Pasteurizers used in the brewing industry include larger enclosures or pipes that can measure up to 20 feet wide by 100 feet long. A modular conveyor belt transports glass bottles or containers filled with liquid through the pipeline for sterilization. Water is sprayed on the bottles as they move through the pipe to control the temperature of the product. The pipeline includes multiple temperature zones to raise the temperature of the product in the bottle to pasteurization temperature, maintain this temperature for a predetermined period of time, and then drop to room temperature. [0005] A problem in pasteurizers is that as bottles pass through the retort heating zone on modular conveyors, bottles can break...
