A conveyor belt makes contamination of the conveyor belt and conveyance objects less noticeable. A conveyor belt has a structure in which a colorless transparent belt body and a black resin layer that exhibits black color are overlaid on each other and is observed as a black belt. The black resin layer is provided on a surface opposite to a carrying surface of the belt body. The black resin layer is formed in black by blending a conductive filler in the resin and is added with conductivity.

An article treating device includes a belt conveyor having a belt that encircles a drive pulley at one end and an idler pulley at another end to support an article. At least one upper sprayer is positioned above the belt and is directed to spray a treatment liquid on an upper surface of the article on the belt. The article treating device sprays a second surface of article using a second sprayer by either: (i) spraying through perforations in a belt of the belt conveyor; and (ii) conveying the article over a flipping wedge to flip over the article before conveying under the second sprayer.

A conveyor belt sanding assembly includes a panel is comprised of a rigid material. A pair of clips is each coupled to the panel and each of the clips releasably engages a paddle of a mail sorting machine thereby mounting the panel to the paddle. A sheet of sand paper is bonded to the panel and the sheet of sand paper is positioned on an opposing surface of the panel with respect to the clips. In this way the sheet of sand paper is directed toward the conveyor belt of the mail sorting machine. The sand paper abrades the conveyor belt when the paddle is moved against the conveyor belt to enhance the capacity of the conveyor belt to frictionally engage mail that is being sorted by the mail sorting machine.

An impact absorbing conveyor belt that includes an impact absorption layer, a first fabric layer and a top cover layer. The impact absorption layer has a first side. The impact absorption layer has a durometer. When the conveyor belt is in use, the first side of the impact absorption layer is oriented toward a surface of the conveyor belt on which an object being conveyed is placed. The top cover layer has a durometer that is greater than the durometer of the impact absorption layer. The first fabric layer and the top cover layer are both positioned on the first side of the impact absorption layer.

The invention relates to an endless shaped article comprising at least one strip of material forming a plurality of convolutions of the strip of material, the strip having a longitudinal axis, wherein each convolution of said strip comprises a twist along the longitudinal axis of said strip, wherein said twist is an odd multiple of 180 degrees. The invention also relates to a method to manufacture said article, and its use as sling, loop, belt or chain link.

Disclosed is a belt tensioner having a single-piece plastic body, having a fastening section, that has an adjustment mechanism via which the plastic body can be adjustably fastened, to the carrier; a pressing section configured to press against the drive belt in order to tension the drive belt; and a spring joint device which connects the fastening section and the pressing section to one another, and via which the pressing section is displaceably supported at the fastening section along the deflection direction so that, when the pressing section presses against the drive belt, the amount of the displacement of the pressing section along the deflection direction is dependent on the respective set drive belt tension, wherein the belt tensioner has a setting aid that indicates when the predefined drive belt tension is set by the belt tensioner.
