  • Patent number: 10647515
    Abstract: A seal system and method for a bolted track such as a baking system conveyor track. The seal system provides a seal between a pair of track pieces being coupled end-to-end to one another. The seal system includes flanges attached near the ends of the track pieces and a gasket compressed between the flanges when the track pieces are coupled to form a seal. In example embodiments, the gasket is attached to a track plate. The track plate is coupled between the flanges and is configured to shield the gasket from heat and direct flame. The seal system optionally also includes a joint cover affixed to the bottom of the coupled flanges to form a secondary seal.

  • Publication number: 20170073166
    Abstract: In a conveyor belt system, a static dissipative sprocket constructed of a static dissipative plastic material creates a path of conveyance for dissipating static electricity between a conveyor belt and a grounded drive shaft. The static dissipative sprocket includes an attachment collar incorporated into the sprocket as a single unitary component. The static dissipative sprocket can include a set screw and metal insert to assist in the transfer of static electricity from the static dissipative sprocket to the drive shaft.
