The invention relates to a roller conveyor jam break tool having a molded head member that is configured to clear a conveyor jam without the risk of the head member falling between two adjacent rollers and becoming lodged between those adjacent rollers. The molded head member is constructed of a lightweight durable, polymeric material, and the molded head member can be integrally fabricated with or selectively attached to a terminal end of an elongate handle.

A cleaning apparatus for cleaning a conveyor screw of a screw conveyor, includes: a slide-like basic body for resting on at least two screw flights of the conveyor screw in order to displace the slide-like basic body in the axial direction by means of a rotational movement of the conveyor screw, and a cleaning device which is attached to the slide-like basic body, for cleaning the conveyor screw. The apparatus also relates to a screw conveyor and to a method for cleaning a conveyor screw of a screw conveyor.

A belt cleaner is provided which does not damage the belt surface during the scraping operation where tips on an arcuate scraper held in a holder are inclined and pushed against the belt surface with rotary shafts of the holder rotated by a resilient force. A scraper (20) is provided with a flat slope (29) extending in parallel with the belt surface from top edges of the tips (21) in the belt running direction (F), said flat slope (29) is made to contact with the belt surface in a manner of surface-contact connection when the tips are shifted up the posture from a vertical posture to an inclined posture, and a width (W) of said flat slope (29) in the belt running direction with respect to the thickness (t) of said tip (21) is formed under the condition of t<W.

A conveyor pulley design incorporates a plow design that forces tramp material away from the belt and discharges material down and away from the belt, bearings, take-up assembly, maintenance equipment and personnel. The pulley uses a modular construction that allows for optimized manufacture and inventory processes and reduces the materials cost in the pulley.

Provided is a device discharging chips, which is configured to allow smooth transfer because it is possible to absorb transformation of connecting pins due to a force generated while chain belts are operating as well as smoothly discharging a coolant and chips.

A storage facility for objects of paying of respects includes a cleaning device which utilizes a dust removing member to remove dust from an outer surface of an object of paying of respects. The dust removing member is provided at a position that allows the dust removing member to act on an outer surface of an object of paying of respects that is being moved in a transport direction through transport operation by the transport system such that the dust removing member is in relative motion, in a direction opposite to the transport direction, with respect to the object of paying of respects as the object of paying of respects is moved in the transport direction.

A work area is disposed in a conveyance path for cells and has an inlet and an outlet, with a downflow air curtain provided at least at the inlet and the outlet. A conveyor repeatedly performs an operation that moves a placement surface having a culture vessel thereon from the inlet side into the area, moves the placement surface from the outlet side to the outside of the area, and, subsequently, moves back the placement surface to the inlet side. The cleaning device cleans the placement surface during the period from when the conveyor in the work area moves the placement surface to the outside of the area until the conveyor moves back the placement surface to the inlet side of the area.

An ultraviolet (UV) emission device may emit energy towards a movable surface of a conveyor system. A housing of the UV emission device may attach to a frame of the conveyor system. A lateral edge of the housing may extend across the moveable surface. The housing and a portion of the moveable surface may be inclined with respect to the frame. A barrier bracket of the UV emission device may support an absorptive barrier along the lateral edge, the absorptive barrier configured to contact the moveable surface. In a first position of the barrier bracket, the absorptive barrier contacts the moveable surface and the barrier bracket activates an interlock switch. In a second position of the barrier bracket, the barrier bracket deactivates the interlock switch. Responsive to deactivation of the interlock switch, a controller may provide a control signal to decrease power to the UV energy emission element.
