A roll transporting conveyor for transporting bituminous membrane rolls along a feeding direction. The roll transporting conveyor comprises: a support frame provided with two beams spaced apart from each other and parallel to said feeding direction; two driving belts arranged at the respective beams; a plurality of crossbars extending in a bridge-like manner between a driving belt and the other at a preset distance along said feeding direction and having the opposite axial ends integral to the driving belts; a plurality of belt-shaped transport portions, each of which extends between two consecutive crossbars and is sized to form a hammock-shaped transport cradle having an approximately semi-cylindrical shape for holding a roll between two consecutive crossbars.

A vertical washer or dryer, such as integrated into an egg handling operation. The vertical washer or dryer includes a vertically extending body supporting a carousel conveyor adapted to support pluralities of eggs during transport in successive ascending and descending fashion within the body between an inlet location and an outlet location of the body. A first egg conveyor communicates the eggs with the inlet location of the carousel conveyor, a second egg conveyor communicating the eggs with the outlet location. A least one of a plurality of egg washer spray bars or, in the separate variant, a plurality of egg dryer air knives, are integrated into the body in communication with the carousel conveyor for washing/drying the eggs while supported upon the carousel conveyor.

A material conveyor system container and method of making same. The container comprises a wear band generally disposed at the points of contact of the bucket with the material being conveyed by the bucket that is made from a highly abrasion resistant material and the rest of the bucket is made from a less expensive polymer, such as polyethylene.

A conveyor (400) for transporting articles, such as coils springs, is described. The conveyor comprises a substrate (420) for supporting articles during transportation, and a plurality of retaining members (520) located on the substrate for retaining the articles during transportation. The retaining members (520) each comprise a mounting portion (530) for mounting to the substrate (420). A containment portion (540) comprises proximal and distal parts (540a) and (540b) define a space therebetween for receiving a coil spring (100) under compression. Slots (550a) and (550b) in the containment parts are aligned for receiving pushers.

The invention relates to a drive belt connecting device for the tension-resistant connection of flat drive belt end sections (93, 94), which drive belt connecting device comprises a multi-part connecting body (41), which has connecting parts (1, 2, 3) and a connecting chamber (42), which accommodates the drive belt end sections (93, 94), which have at least one first belt flat side having a belt surface profile (911) in an overlapping arrangement for tension-resistant connection. A first outer connecting part (1) and a second outer connecting part (2) bound the connecting chamber (42), in which an inner connecting part (3) having inner connecting surfaces (301, 302) is arranged. The inner connecting surfaces and outer connecting surfaces (101, 201) of the outer connecting parts (1, 2) can be placed onto the drive belt end sections (93, 94). A fastening means (5) fastens the outer connecting parts (1, 2) to each other at a limited fixed distance. An inner connecting means (30) connects the inner connecting part (3) to at least one of the two outer connecting parts (1, 2) for connection that is secure in the belt tension direction. A flat drive belt (90) is connected to a circulating continuous flat drive belt (90) by means of at least one said drive belt connecting device (4). A conveying device (7) comprises two such drive belts (901, 902), which can be guided and driven along a conveying path (78) and a return path (79) to circulate together and in parallel, wherein one conveyor belt (75) is formed by a series of transport elements (73) arranged in parallel and transport blocks (74) fastened onto the two drive belts (901, 902) to support said transport elements. Connecting bodies (41) of the drive belt connecting devices (4) are configured as transport blocks (74).

A cleaning device is provided with a three-dimensional circulation route for circulating workpiece holding tools that hold a workpiece, and this three-dimensional circulation route is formed by an endless conveyor chain bendable in various directions being disposed within a rectangular parallelepiped space following along the upper and lower sides thereof. The conveyor chain circulates from an upper side horizontal transport path portion via a falling side transport path portion, a lower side horizontal transport path portion, and a rising side transport path portion, and the workpiece held in the workpiece holding tools is treated by ultrasonic cleaning, shower cleaning, steam cleaning, drying and the like. Thus, it is possible to suitably dispose a workpiece transport route in a limited rectangular parallelepiped space, and carry out cleaning operations for the workpiece efficiently.
