The invention relates to a slat for a reciprocating slat conveyor, where the slat comprises an elongated slat body having an upper surface configured for supporting a load placed on the slat, a bottom surface, opposite to the upper surface, a first side surface and a second side surface, opposite to the first side surface, wherein at least one of the upper surface, bottom surface, first side surface and second side surface is at least partially provided with a wear member.

The invention relates to a reciprocating slat conveyor multiple parallel slats that are slidable in the longitudinal direction, wherein the slats comprise subsequently alternating a first slat and a second slat, wherein the first slats comprise a horizontal upper wall section and an upright end wall section, and wherein the second slats comprise a horizontal upper wall section and a vertically upright wall section, wherein the upright wall section outwardly merges into an overhanging wall section that extends over the end wall section of the adjacent first slat, wherein the overhanging wall section merges into a vertically downwardly pending end wall section that extends aside the end wall section of the adjacent first slat, wherein a seal is present between the upright wall section and the end wall section of the second slat.

For use in a reciprocating floor slat conveyor system having formed slats made of steel, a gap filler for sealing the gaps between side-by-side steel slats includes a portion that extends upwardly into the gap, and a lower portion that is connected to one of the side-by-side slats. The gap filler is installed by pushing down the gap filler into the gap between slats.

In a walking floor conveyor, an arrangement of panels lined longitudinally in a side-by-side fashion are organized into at least two correlating groups of panels. At least two panels within each group. Each panel grouping is propelled and retracted in a reciprocating manner, each by a hydraulic cylinder. The panels comprising wheel receptacles underneath the panels and at least one wheel fitted within a wheel receptacle to allow for forward and backward movement along a wheel support beam. These reciprocating panels supported by a series of wheel support beams, interior support beams and side support beams. These side support beams are at their tallest in the back and shortest in the front to provide a slant allowing for a flow of cargo and liquid runoff captured within a plurality of panel drains located between the panels towards a frontally placed auger designed for the assistance of cargo discharge.

Disclosed is a friction conveying system, comprising a friction driving unit, a clamping unit and a friction driving component, wherein the friction driving unit comprises a rotation driving component, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, at least one first rollers arranged on the first connecting rod, and at least one second rollers arranged on the second connecting rod, the clamping unit comprises a clamping driving component by which the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are moved towards each other to cause the first rollers and the second rollers to clamp the friction driving component, the first rollers and/or the second rollers are drivable by the rotation driving component to rotate, causing the friction driving component clamped between the first rollers and the second rollers to move by means of frictional force. According to the invention, the rollers are used to drive the friction driving component to move at a high speed by means of frictional force, providing high-speed conveyance at lower cost. The present invention has the advantages of lower cost, reliable performance, and convenient mounting, satisfying the conveying requirements of industrial automatic production line.

A roll-formed steel slat for use in a reciprocating floor slat conveyor system. The roll-formed steel slat is formed in a manner so as to have an upper, load-carrying surface, and a pair of downwardly depending side legs. Each side leg terminates in a foot. One foot is vertically offset from the other to provide a hold-down function that prevents the slat from vertically rising as the slat reciprocates back-and-forth.

An all-steel floor slat for a reciprocating conveyor system includes a plurality of fastener openings through the top surface of the slat for connecting the slat to an underlying drive mechanism. The fastener openings are formed with counter-sinks for receiving fastener heads.

A tracked, self-propelled machine for laying a film and depositing ballast on it to cover a landfill or other ground area. The machine (20) has a ballast box (28) with a reciprocating slat floor (38) and an end gate (34) for holding the ballast (50). A ballast distribution module (58) at the back of the ballast box has a pair of conveyors (68, 70) separated by a gap (72). A roll of film (96) is held by a film roll support mechanism (94) at the back of the machine for unwinding onto the ground surface as the machine moves forward. Ballast is moved to the back of the box by the reciprocating slat floor and is released from an opening (52) under the end gate onto the conveyors and into the gap for deposition onto the laid film.
