Food process-line coating apparatus for coating a stream of food product in a food process line are provided with the improvement of a permanently-installed internal cleaning-fluid circuit and a plurality cleaning-fluid distribution devices. The cleaning-fluid distribution devices are any of a rotary spray head, a spherical spray nozzle, a rotary frame or a tubular (cylindrical) rotary manifold. The rotary spray head optionally has a multitude of flat spray nozzles mounted along the arms. The spherical spray nozzle might be mounted on a columnar base, and a plurality of those might stand like pickets and aimed a laterally-extending target, like a conveyor belt's nose roller. The rotary frame might have a spaced pair of parallel manifold tubes that rotate about a common axis. The tubular (cylindrical) rotary manifold preferably has a multitude of ports or nozzles distributed at spaced locations on its outer sidewall.

The apparatus is related to cargo transport systems, that use rail track structure as main transport for continuous hauling of lumpy and loose cargoes over distances of increased length. The claimed cargo transport complex of mounted type is installed on supports above ground (water) surface, and consists of two strands located one below the other or in one horizontal linecargo strand and return strand. The strands are separated from each other on one side by a loading drum and a turning drum, on the otherby an unloading drum and a turning drum, which form loading-unloading devices, respectively. Both strands are fixed in load-bearing carcasses installed on each of the supports, equipped with drive mechanisms, contain track structure including rail cords, which are prestressed and tensioned with longitudinal tension force F.sub.R, N, and may contain prestressed load-bearing elements, and bogies with support wheels resting thereon, positioned along the track structure with a pitch L, m, and a cargo-handling belt placed in the carcasses of the bogies, whereupon the cargo is distributed in the cargo strand, the latter is tensioned with longitudinal tension force F.sub.G, N. Noteworthy that the bogies and the cargo-handling belt accommodated therein feature a grooved profile of depth H, m, and width S, m.

A top cover for a cross belt frame is disclosed. The top cover defining a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction, and a vertical direction. The top cover comprising a main body extending along a plane defined by the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction. The main body having a middle portion positioned between two end portions. A middle locking unit extending from a bottom side of the middle portion of the main body, is configured to engage with a pair of slide rails of the cross belt frame. A first end locking unit extending from one of the two end portions, is configured to detachably engage with at least one protrusion that extends from the cross belt frame and a second end locking unit extending from another one of the two end portions, is configured to detachably engage with other protrusion that extends from the cross belt frame.

A cover is configured for covering conveyor component, such as a support for a guiderail for guiding one or more articles during conveyance. The support may comprise a portion of an actuator for actuating the guide rail to move in a direction transverse to a conveying direction. The cover may include a plurality of segments adapted to interconnect and articulate relative to one another, such as for assuming a straight and/or curved configuration, or a particular length of cover. Related methods are also disclosed.

The apparatus is related to cargo transport systems, that use rail track structure as main transport for continuous hauling of lumpy and loose cargoes over distances of increased length. The apparatus is based on the task of creating a suspended-type cargo transport complex with the possibility of its use over significant distances of about 1,000 km and more. The claimed cargo transport complex, installed on supports above ground surface, consists of two strandscargo strand and return strand, which form track structure. The cargo strand is equipped by a loading drum, whereas the return strandby an unloading drum. Alternatively, loading-unloading devices may include bypass rollers instead of the drums for both loading and unloading. Both strands are fixed in load-bearing carcasses installed on each of the supports.
