A quick release mounting assembly for an endless belt conveyor that allows a drive motor to be connected to a drive roller of the conveyor. The quick release mounting assembly includes a drive roller hub connected to the shaft of the drive roller. A drive motor hub is connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor. Both the drive roller hub and the drive motor hub include an external series of external splines. The mounting assembly includes a drive coupling having a first receiving area that engages the drive motor hub and a second receiving area that engages the drive roller hub such that the drive coupling transfers rotation of the drive shaft to the drive roller. The drive coupling is received within a housing that is removably mounted to a gearbox of the drive motor.

A donut icer or icing system is disclosed herein. The icing system is surprisingly more efficient than known methods of applying frosting to baked or fried goods, specifically, donuts. The increase in efficiency over known methods is accomplished generally through use of a plurality of conveyor belts, an icing bath, and a flip shaft assembly that allows frosted goods or donuts to flip icing side up before discharge from the system.

A rotational speed measurement system includes a video device configured to obtain a video of a pulley of a conveyor belt system. The rotational speed measurement system also includes a strobe configured to generate a stroboscopic effect on the obtained video. The rotational speed measurement system also includes a memory device. The rotational speed measurement system also includes a network interface. The rotational speed measurement system also includes one or more processors configured to: generate a stroboscopic window using the strobe and the obtained video, synchronize the strobe with the obtained video using the stroboscopic window, determine a measured rotational speed for the pulley based on the synchronized strobe, and determine belt slippage based on the measured rotational speed.

A disinfecting device using ultraviolet light is configured to sit on top of an existing conveyor belt or rollers. The disinfecting device has a housing, an inlet, an outlet, a plurality of rollers within the housing, one or more disinfecting lights positioned above the rollers, and at least one disinfecting light positioned beneath the rollers. The plurality of rollers carry the item upward, passing over at least one disinfecting light while other disinfecting lights are positioned above the item. The item is then returned to the conveyor belt to continue onward.

A delivery vehicle operates on a two-dimensional rail system with rails extending in a first direction and a second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The delivery vehicle includes a vehicle body; two sets of wheels connected to the vehicle body for engagement with the underlying rail system and for moving the delivery vehicle in the first and second directions; a container carrier for supporting a container from below, wherein the container carrier comprises a first conveyor; a conveyor drive shaft for driving the first conveyor; and at least one drive coupling. The at least one drive coupling includes a connection interface accessible from an outer side portion of the vehicle body. The drive coupling is rotatably connected to a motor drive shaft such that when the motor drive shaft is rotated the drive coupling and the connection interface are rotated.
