A conveyor assembly for moving material includes a plurality of chains each defining a longitudinal axis, and a plurality of flights coupled to the at least two chains and configured to contact and move the material in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axes. Each of the plurality of flights extends along a central axis oriented oblique with respect to the longitudinal axes. Each flight includes a first portion offset from a second portion in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axes.

A conveyor for transporting a product, the product being preferably in the form of respective articles, in particular articles of the tissue industry, including a means for supporting and guiding an endless conveyor belt, especially one of the type with articulated links, the belt including at least one respective positive stretch, in particular for transporting the product, and preferably a return stretch, if necessary positioned under the respective longitudinal transporting stretch; and means for driving the conveyor belt and including a means for engaging the respective link of the conveyor belt and, more specifically, means which are adapted to engage a rear-facing surface of the respective conveyor belt link, the means for engaging and driving the conveyor belt being adapted to engage a respective longitudinal stretch, preferably rectilinear, of the conveyor belt itself.

The invention relates to a trough conveyor (10), which is designed and configured for transporting fish transversely to the longitudinal extent thereof in the transport direction T.sub.M, comprising a transport chain (12) which can be rotationally driven and is formed from chain links (11) and has a transport run (13), which defines the transport plane E.sub.1, and a return run (14), wherein the continuous transport chain (12) is guided about at least two deflection elements (15), which can be rotated about an axis of rotation D.sub.u, for driving and guiding the transport chain (12), and the transport chain (12) has arranged thereon troughs (16) each intended to receive one fish, which trough conveyor is distinguished in that each trough (16) is arranged on the transport chain (12) so as to be pivotable about an axis of rotation D.sub.M extending transversely to the transport direction T.sub.M and comprises at least one guide body (17), and in that at least one guide rail (18) for receiving the guide body (17) and for guiding the same is arranged at least in the transition region from the transport run (13) to the return run (14), wherein the course of the or of each guide rail (18) in the transition region around the deflection element (15) at least partially differs from the course of the transport chain (12) around the deflection element (15). The invention further relates to an arrangement and a method for transferring the fish from such a trough conveyor to a downstream transport means.

The present disclosure relates to an item moving cart that moves, while receiving given items therein, to transfer the items along fixed paths, more specifically to an item moving cart having conveyors built therein that is capable of allowing items to be loaded on tops of the conveyors so that if the item moving cart completely moves to a given place, the conveyors operate through the application of power to the item moving cart to allow the items to be unloaded from the item moving cart to the outside.
