Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a conveying system for conveying an item to be conveyed. The conveying system comprises a conveying track which comprises a conveying surface on which the item to be conveyed is placeable, wherein the conveying track comprises a coupling surface formed adjacent to the conveying surface, wherein the coupling surface comprises a first coupling profile. The conveying system further comprises at least one conveying drive for driving and/or braking the conveying track, wherein the conveying drive comprises a second coupling profile. The first coupling profile is coupled with the second coupling profile in such a way that the conveying drive is coupled with the conveying track in an interlocking manner for transferring a conveying force.

Abstract: A tube conveyor, in particular a tube conveyor in which an endlessly revolving conveying belt is guided at least partly in the interior of carrier rolls (5) which are attached in a ring-shaped manner and whose axes extend substantially transversally to the direction of conveyance, and is substantially shaped into a tube, with the return of the conveying belt (3) being performed outside of the loaded strand shaped into a tube. In order to provide a tube conveyor which does not require any additional external supporting rolls for the return of the unloaded strand and thus both simplifies the installation of such a tube conveyor and reduces its noise production during operation, the return of the unloaded strand (9) of the conveying belt (3) is performed while resting on the upper carrier rolls (5) which are arranged in a ring-shaped manner.
