Abstract: A chain and slat conveyor with first and second continuous chains and a plurality of slats. Each slat is connected to the first chain by a keyhole connection and to the second chain by a bolt or rivet which passes through a hole in the slat.

Abstract: A transportable system for receiving, storing, and distributing granular material includes a surge bin with two storage compartments. A distribution conveyor assembly is movably mounted to the surge bin, has two conveyors, and can be manipulated to discharge into selected adjacent bins. An elevating conveyor assembly has two conveyors and each can discharge into either compartment of distribution conveyor and into either of the distribution conveyors. A receiving conveyor assembly has first and second receiving conveyors configured to receive granular material from side by side transport vehicles at the same time and deliver same to the input of either elevating conveyor. A surge bin output diverter assembly can receive granular material from either one of the storage compartments and direct same into either one of the first and second elevating conveyors for elevating to either one of the distribution conveyors.

Abstract: A conveyor belt module for inserting a high-density array of rollers comprises a bottom heavy spine forming a portion of a module body and gusset blocks reinforcing an intersection between the spine and hinge elements. The conveyor belt module includes hinge elements spaced apart by five different separation distances to allow a high-density array of rollers mounted on a hinge rod in spaces formed between the hinge elements and interlaced hinge elements of an adjacent conveyor belt module in a modular plastic conveyor belt formed by a plurality of interlaced conveyor belt modules.

Abstract: A vented bucket for use in an endless conveyor system, such as the conveyor belt of a grain elevator or feed elevator, includes two oppositely disposed side panels joined by a rear panel, a bottom panel, and a front panel. At least one vent tube extends along or within one of the rear panel, side panels or front panel in a substantially vertical orientation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device (1) for positioning one or more adjustable directing components for guiding articles in a transport system. One or more of the directing components are coupled to at least one first output (7a to 7g) of a transmission arrangement (11) and can be positioned via the at least one first output (7a to 7g). One or more further directing components are coupled to at least one second output (7a to 7g) of the transmission (11) and coupled via at least one second output (7a to 7g) of the transmission (11) and can be positioned via the at least one second output (7a to 7g). The device (1) further comprises a control actuator (17), which can be selectively and mechanically brought into an operative connection with the at least one first output (7a to 7g) and/or with the at least one second output (7a to 7g).

Abstract: It is disclosed a matrix conveyor (10) comprising: a plurality of individual roller modules (28), wherein respectively one roller module (28) is arranged at each point of intersection of a regular grid-shaped structure (68), and wherein the roller modules (28) commonly define a conveying plane (30), which is substantially planar, for transporting a conveying good (72) thereon; and a superordinated control device (12) being adapted to individually control each of the individual roller modules (28) so that the conveying good (72) can be transported along a path (74), which can be planned in advance, wherein a shape of the path (74) is defined by a plurality of overlaps of at least two basic conveying directions (60, 62) of the conveying plane (30); wherein the at least two basic conveying directions (60, 62) geometrically span the conveying plane (30), and wherein each of the roller modules (64) is drivable in only one of the at least two basic conveying directions (60), wherein directly adjacent roller modules
