10405495 · 2019-09-10 · ·

A scraper strip for a scraper device including at least one adjusting disk positioned in a recess of the scraper strip and rotatably attached to a scraper strip support, the adjusting disk comprising an eccentric guide track, which extends in a spiral shape or at least approximately as a circle involute, from a region at least close to a center point of the at least one adjusting disk in the direction of an edge region of the adjusting disk, and so as to linearly displace the scraper strip with respect to the scraper strip support of the scraper device when the adjusting disk is rotated. A fastener is accommodated by a groove extending substantially in a displacement direction of the scraper strip such that the scraper strip is displaced with respect to the fastener.

Continuous product-processing apparatus and method for cleaning with product repositioning
10407245 · 2019-09-10 · ·

A continuous product-processing apparatus having a conveyor capable of repositioning product and cleaning itself of debris and a method for its operation. The apparatus includes a conveyor that transports products atop a conveyor belt along a carryway to a processing chamber. Upper and lower diverting rollers guide the belt along an S-shaped product-repositioning path segment of the carryway. The diverting rollers are rotated at a speed normally greater than the speed of the conveyor belt to cause the belt to slip on the roller's periphery, which effects a scraping action against the conveying side of the belt to dislodge debris from the belt and the rollers. One-way ratcheting drives or belt restricters positioned on the product-positioning path segment to limit belt excursion are used to prevent the belt from building up along the carryway and tightening in the lower return.

Scraping elements for drive units of underground mining applications

A sprocket adapted to be used in a drive unit of a chain conveyor for underground mining applications is disclosed. The sprocket may have a cylindrical body. The cylindrical body may have a front face, an axis of rotation (A-A), and a lateral surface. The sprocket may also have a scraping member provided on the front face. The scraping member may scrape off deposits during rotation of the sprocket.

CONVEYOR BELT SCRAPER
20190248599 · 2019-08-15 ·

A conveyor belt scraper (100) comprising a mounting base (110) adapted to be mounted on a support structure. A pivot body 300 is pivotally connected to the mounting base (110). First and second scraper blades (500), are secured to the pivot body (300), wherein a scraping tip (520) of the first scraper blade (500) and a scraping tip (530) of the second scraper blade (500) are separated by a space and the scraping tips (520, 530) each extend generally parallel to a pivot axis of the pivot body (300). The pivot assembly (300) is pivotal about the pivot axis so that a position of each scraper tip (520, 530) is variable.

Conveyor belt wear monitoring system
10377574 · 2019-08-13 · ·

Provided is a conveyor belt wear monitoring system including a non-contact sensor arranged facing a surface of an upper cover rubber. A distance to the surface of the upper cover rubber is detected using the non-contact sensor in a predetermined range in a belt width direction of the upper cover rubber of the traveling conveyor belt. An amount of wear of the upper cover rubber is obtained by comparing the detection data with pre-stored reference data.
