Abstract: According to the present invention, a conveyor pulley for use in a belt conveyor is provided, comprising: a roller tube (1); wherein the roller tube (1) is formed by plastically deforming a central portion of a substantially cylindrical metal tube (2) radially outwardly so as to form a crowned portion (4) having an enlarged outer diameter (ODENL) with respect to remaining portions (6) of the metal tube (2).

Abstract: A mounting element (1) for mounting a trolley (29) to a continuous conveyor (30) of a conveyor device has at least two articulated parts (2, 3) connected to one another for articulation. A first of the articulated parts (2) is set-up for articulation of the mounting element (1) to the continuous conveyor (30) and a second of the articulated parts (3) is set-up for connecting the mounting element (1) to the trolley (29).

Abstract: The invention relates to a conveying device for conveying objects comprising a plurality of conveyor segments, each conveyor segment having a control unit for controlling the conveyor drive, and a bus communication, wherein each control unit is connected to the bus communication. Each control unit has a microprocessor for processing control signals, a first electronic memory connected to the microprocessor, in which a first control configuration is stored, and a second electronic memory in which a second control configuration is stored. The microprocessor is adapted to control the conveyor drive in a first operating mode with the control configuration stored in the first memory, to load the second control configuration from the second memory into the first memory when a configuration change command is received, and to control the conveyor drive in a first operating mode with the control configuration stored in the first memory.
