  • Patent number: 9815629
    Abstract: A belt link for removing material from between the run and the return portions of a conveyor belt moving along a first trajectory. The belt link may include a first substantially planar plate member including first and second substantially parallel edges and first and second hinge knuckles at the first and second edges, respectively, the plate member forming at least a first pass through slot between the edges with the first hinge knuckle leading as the belt moves along the first trajectory. The belt link may further include a cleat including first and second rigid cleat members. The belt link may still further include a cap member extending between distal ends of the first and second cleat members to close off a cavity formed between the first and second rigid cleat members. The second cleat member may form at least one drain opening.

  • Patent number: 9254960
    Abstract: A conveyor system for controlling two conveyer belts with a single motor comprises a housing including at least one inclined section. A first conveyor belt is operably connected to a drive pulley and a first idler pulley. A second conveyor belt is operably connected to a second and third idler pulley. A drive unit includes a motor in communication with the drive pulley and a first and a second sprocket. A roller chain extends between the drive pulley, the sprockets, and the third idler pulley, wherein the roller chain causes the drive pulley and the sprockets to rotate in one of a clockwise and a counterclockwise manner and the third idler pulley to rotate in the other of a clockwise and the counterclockwise manner.
