The present disclosure concerns a belt conveyor roller wear liner superposable against an outer peripheral surface of a roller cylindrical body, the roller wear liner comprising: a shock-absorbing matrix; and a plurality of inserts, spaced-apart from one another and embedded in the shock-absorbing matrix with external surfaces of the inserts and the shock-absorbing matrix, extending between the inserts, being exposed outwardly, the roller wear liner being substantially ring-shaped. It also concerns a corresponding belt conveyor roller assembly, a corresponding belt conveyor and a corresponding method.

HYGIENIC CONVEYOR ROLLER
20220153528 · 2022-05-19 ·

A hygienic, cleanable conveyor roller for use in a conveyor includes a segmented hub, a plurality of spokes and a rim for contacting a conveyor belt. The segmented hub comprises a plurality of arcuate segments in different axial planes connected to each other. The conveyor roller is mounted upon and rotatable about a mounting shaft that may axially constrain the roller. During a single revolution of the conveyor roller about the mounting shaft, all surfaces of both the conveyor roller and the mounting shaft are fully exposed, allowing the surfaces to be cleaned in place, without requiring removal of the conveyor roller from the mounting shaft.

Modular transfer units, systems, and methods

A modular transfer system with a primary flow system and a diverter system. The primary flow system includes a primary flow belt for conveying an article along a primary flow path from an infeed side of the modular transfer system to a pass-through side of the modular transfer system. The diverter system includes one or more diverter belts for diverting an article from the primary flow path towards a divert side of the modular transfer system. The primary flow belt includes multiple movable components contacting the diverter belt. The movable components can have one or more rotational degrees of freedom.

Modular slat conveyor belt

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.
