The conveyor includes at least one toolbar and one or more auxiliary components mounted to the toolbar using a snap clamp having a protrusion that mates with a channel on the toolbar.

Abstract: Components of a conveyor system designed to facilitate tight transfer of products onto and off a positively-driven, low tension conveyor belt. The conveyor system includes a tension amplifier in a returnway of a conveyor belt circuit for selectively increasing tension in the conveyor belt prior to infeed without increasing the low tension in the returnway prior to the tension amplifier.

Abstract: A domountable wall system is disclosed suitable for use as a clean room enclosure. Wall panels are provided with a pair of upwardly extending top flanges and a pair of downwardly extending bottom flanges. A head track affixed to the ceiling has a pair of longitudinal, downwardly opening recesses divided by an inner wall carrying resiliently flexible gaskets directed laterally into each of the recesses. The top flanges of the wall panel are inserted within the recesses straddling the gaskets and forming a seal therewith. A floor track is affixed to the floor directly below the head track. The bottom flanges of the wall panel rest atop ledges on the floor track spaced above the floor. The wall panel, and the top flanges within the recesses, may be raised and lowered and the bottom of the wall panel swung in and out for installation and demounting of the wall panel. The gaskets are advantageously formed as dual durometer extrusions. Special constructed batten strips and corner posts are also disclosed.
