Roller table apparatus (200; 300) for transporting a metallic product (P) to or from a mill stand, includes: first and second rolls (202a, 202b; 302a, 302b), outboard ends of the rolls are supported by respective outboard bearings and inboard ends of the rolls are supported by respective inboard bearings, such that each of the rolls is rotatable about its longitudinal axis (X1, X2); and at least one adjuster (216; 316a, 316b), movable in use to displace at least one end of the rolls or the respective bearings of the roll so as to adjust an angle () of inclination of each of the longitudinal axes of the rolls with respect to a datum (D), thereby to adjust a pass-line height (h1, h2) of the product relative to the datum.

A multichannel paper feeding system in connection to a vertical storage is disclosed. The multichannel paper feeding system includes a main loop transport device, an internal loop transport device, a plurality of take-out devices, and a plurality of take-out conveyor belts, all of which are disposed between the vertical storage and a cutting machine. The main loop transport device transports a paper roll placed on a main loop rack from the vertical storage to the internal loop transport device, where a main push rod then pushes the paper roll onto an internal loop rack, and the internal loop transport device transports the internal loop rack next to a take-out conveyor belt. The take-out device moves the paper roll from the internal loop rack to the corresponding take-out conveyor belt so that the paper roll can be transported further downstream to a post-processing station for cutting or packaging. Through the internal loop transport device, not only can more take-out conveyor belts be added and may the post-processing production be increased, the transport quality of the paper rolls is also enhanced.

Disclosed herein are air-supported belt conveyors and independent conveyor subsystems that are selectively and independently designed to meet requirements that can change along the length of a conveyor, as well as from conveyor to conveyor.

A conveyor system includes a belt wound around a roller assembly along a belt axis. The belt is configured to convey objects along the roller assembly in a direction of conveyance. The belt includes a primary belt portion that is in contact with rollers of the roller assembly and defines the belt axis. The conveyor includes an actuator configured to cause the belt to selectively define at least one belt peak that protrudes from the primary belt portion at a peak height measured orthogonally from the belt axis.
