A guide profile and a conveying system are disclosed. The conveying system is designed with a guide profile of this type. A slide bar of the guide profile is provided with an articulated leg so that it is possible to change the slide bar on the already installed conveying system.

A slat conveyor belt includes connected drive modules that can be easily disassembled and assembled. Each drive module comprises a slat portion connected to a drive portion forming a drive chain. A conveyor frame for the conveyor belt includes a dust cover for the drive chain and a separator for selectively separating a slat portion from an associated drive portion. A magazine automatically removes and stores separated slats.

The present invention pertains a replacement liner (10) for insertion in a conveyor pan (100) of a chain type conveyor (200), comprising a floor part (12) having a left connection surface (14) and a right connection surface (16), a left side part (18) having a left side part connection surface (20) connectable to the left connection surface (14), and a right side part (22) having a right side part connection surface (24) connectable to the right connection surface (16). The connection surfaces (14, 20, 16, 24) are configured to form, in a connected state, a form-fitted connection with their complementary connection surface (14, 20; 16, 24). The present invention further pertains to a conveyor pan (100), a chain type conveyor (200) comprising such, a liner replacement method and a liner sheet.

The present invention relates broadly to a wear liner module (10) for equipment in a high wear environment, said module (10) comprising a back plate (12) and a wear liner (11) including one or more tiles (14a) to (14f) formed of wear resistant material, and one or more sensors such as (16a) mounted to the wear resistant tile such as (14a). The wear sensor (16a) is mounted to a perimeter face of the corresponding wear resistant tile (14a). The wear sensor (16a) is electrically coupled to a microprocessor mounted to a rear face of the tile (14a). The microprocessor is configured to process data received from the wear sensor (16a) to provide a wear signal represented of wear in the wear sensor (16a). The microprocessor (24a) transmits the wear signal to a wireless receiver (34a) mounted to the backing plate (12).

A method to manufacture a tubular element for transferring abrasive materials such as concrete, inert materials or suchlike, wherein the tubular element comprises an internal tubular component made of chromium carbide or other wear-resistant material, and an internal tubular component in contact with and coaxial to the internal tubular component and made of composite material.

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a plurality of tractive elements coupled to the chassis, and a lift assembly including a carriage, a grabber arm selectively repositionable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, a track configured to be coupled to a chassis of the refuse vehicle, and a roller assembly slidably coupling the carriage to the track. In the engaged position, the grabber arm is configured to couple a refuse container to the carriage. The track defines a track groove extending at least partway along a length of the track. The roller assembly includes a base coupled to the carriage, a shaft coupled to the base and extending outward from the base, a roller extending at least partially into the track groove, the roller defining first a central aperture that receives the shaft, and a bushing that rotatably couples the roller to the shaft.

A conveyor for transporting and elevating articles and a method and system for conveying articles up inclines is provided. The conveyor has a conveyor belt and a plurality of support elements extending outward from the article-conveying surface of the conveyor belt advancing upward along the incline. The conveyor may be positioned at an inclined angle relative to the horizontal ground, i.e., between about 5° and 85° or the conveyor can be substantially vertical, i.e., about 90° relative to the horizontal ground. The support elements prevent conveyed articles from sliding down the conveyor belt on the inclined conveyor and carry and hold articles on substantially vertical conveyors. The article-conveying surface of the conveyor belt may provide a low-friction retention surface to articles leaning away from the conveyor belt on the incline.

A colorized and tribologically modified polyoxymethylene polymer composition is disclosed. The polyoxymethylene polymer composition is comprised of a polyoxymethylene polymer in combination with at least one tribological modifier. The tribological modifier may include a fluoropolymer. The polymer composition further contains at least one coloring agent in combination with a color stabilizer. The color stabilizer has been found to dramatically improve color consistency. Polymer articles molded from the polymer composition not only have excellent surface appearance but have excellent low friction characteristics when tested against aluminum.

A conveyor roller tube (1) including a plurality of co-extruded polymer layers (2, 3). The tube (1) includes an inner layer (2) and an outer layer (3), and an optional intermediate layer. The inner layer (2) is formed of a first polymer material. The outer layer (3) is formed of a second polymer material, The outer layer (3) is formed to have high wear properties, and is also formed to be of a different colour to the adjacent layer (2) thereto so that a visual indication of the wear of the roller tube (1) is provided.
