A belt and a belt conveyor are provided for transporting particulate material and especially oilseeds up the belt conveyor. The belt conveyor can include an intake end having a hopper, a discharge end, a body extending between the intake end and the discharge end and a belt. The belt travels along a travel path in the belt conveyor; the belt traveling through the hopper, up an upper run in the body to the discharge end, down a return run in the body, and back through the hopper. The belt can have a top surface having pairs of adjacent ridges provided on the top surface, each ridge having a pair of arms extending from a point, in a travel direction of the belt, wherein each pair of adjacent ridges define a v-channel on the top surface of the belt.

The bristle brush comprises a support plate (1), a plurality of bristles (2) emerging from one of the surfaces thereof, the distal ends of the bristles (2), the ones further from the support plate (1), defining a support surface intended to receive a piece to be transported and/or cut or handled, wherein the distal ends of the plurality of bristles (2) have a semi-spherical or conical shape ending in a tip. It enables a bristle brush to be provided wherein the distal ends of said bristles have a shape which enables the bristles to move when a cutting blade or any other element comes into contact with them, without damaging them.

A composite belt may include a profile, and a belt. The profile may have a strip, and nodules. The profile may be attached to the belt such that each nodule extends out from the belt. The composite belt may be included in a cooking apparatus that may also include a housing, a heat source, and a drive roller.

According to the present technology, an impact test in which an impact application member is made to free fall onto a test sample of a plurality of types of rubbers having different physical properties is performed under prescribed test conditions; data for at least one of three items including a loss energy that is absorbed by the test sample when the impact application member collides with the test sample, a thermal energy that is generated at the test sample, and an indentation amount into the test sample by the impact application member is acquired; and an optimal test sample is selected from the respective test samples on a basis of a ranking of the superiority of the respective test samples with respect to the item(s) for which data was acquired.

A conveyor belt includes an upper cover rubber and a lower cover rubber disposed above and below a core layer; and a protective fiber layer made from high strength fiber disposed at least in a central portion of the upper cover rubber in a belt width direction and extending continuously in a belt longitudinal direction; an elastic modulus E of the protective fiber layer in the belt longitudinal direction being a low elastic modulus E1 equal to or less than a predetermined value when a tension in the belt longitudinal direction acting on the conveyor belt is equal to or less than a setting tension Ts, and being a high elastic modulus E2 higher than the low elastic modulus E1 when a predetermined high tension higher than the setting tension Ts is acting on the conveyor belt.

A conveyor belt obtained by bonding together conveyor belts to be adhered using an adhesive rubber is provided. The conveyor belts to be adhered include a rubber composition containing an ethylene--olefin copolymer, an organic peroxide (X1), and carbon black (Y1), the organic peroxide (X1) being contained in an amount of from 0.011 to 0.020 molar equivalents relative to the ethylene--olefin copolymer in the conveyor belts to be adhered. The adhesive rubber includes a rubber composition containing an ethylene--olefin copolymer, an organic peroxide (X2), and carbon black (Y2), the organic peroxide (X2) being contained in an amount of from 0.017 to 0.022 molar equivalents relative to the ethylene--olefin copolymer in the adhesive rubber. A content ratio (X2/X1) of the organic peroxide (X2) to the organic peroxide (X1) is from 1.20 to 2.00.

Methods of manufacturing a conveyor belt (126) include applying a rubber composition (114) to a first side of fabric reinforcement (112) and scattering productive thermoplastic elastomer pellets (106) onto a second side of the fabric reinforcement to produce an uncured belt structure (120). The uncured belt structure (120) is continuous fed into a double belt press (116) to press the productive thermoplastic elastomer pellets (106) together with the fabric reinforcement (112) to produce an uncured belt (128). Uncured belt (128) is then heated in the double belt press (116) to a temperature of at least 300 F. and maintained in the double belt press (116) under a pressure of at least 12 psi and a temperature of at least 300 C. for a residence time of at least 20 minutes to produce a cured conveyor belt (130), which is continuously withdrawn from the double belt press (116).
