Abstract: A hub and belt assembly for driving a poultry de-feathering machine includes multiple bearing heat dissipating hub that includes bearing isolators or spacers associated with each of the drive shaft bearings. The bearing isolators trap vapors, including water and the like that may accumulate from operation of the hub and belt assembly, and prevent this vapor from contacting the bearings.
Abstract: This invention relates to a hub and belt assembly for driving a poultry de-feathering machine and more particularly to a multiple bearing heat dissipating hub driven by a serrated timing belt. The hub assembly incorporates seals along a drive shaft to reduce wear caused by dirt. The timing belt synchronizes multiple picking hubs and reduces the friction driving required. The combination of a heat dissipating hub and the placement of seals along the drive shaft within the hub minimize maintenance and replacement.
