  • Patent number: 11447339
    Abstract: The invention relates to a manufacturing process for a reinforced conveyor belt and product thereby obtained comprising a plurality of plastic modules wherein each module comprises at least one opening that houses a roller and is configured to rotate with respect to a shaft, which consists of a metal tube able to be filled with plastic material; and which comprises the stages of (i) inserting the shaft in an injection mold for a plastic module in the region corresponding to the opening; and (ii) a single stage of injecting the plastic module such that said injected plastic fills the inside of the shafts forming a single assembly or structure with the body of the module.

  • Patent number: 11174106
    Abstract: A system and method arranged for monitoring modular conveyor belts. The modular conveyer belt comprises a plurality of modules made from a plastic material and linked together to form a continuous path operated by a gear which in turn comprises a shaft. The system further comprises at least two sensors in such a way that a first sensor is configured for detecting the passage of reference element in the drive shaft, and at least a second sensor which is configured for detecting the passage of two consecutive reference elements inserted in the longitudinal edges of the modules.

  • Publication number: 20060172841
    Abstract: Designed to immobilise the chain conveyor to ensure that it does not move transversally, and to make it easier to clean it, the main characteristics being that each one of its cogs (3) is equipped, only on its rear wall (10), with a crest (9) that is off-centre with respect to the imaginary plane and runs perpendicular to the centreline of the crown, which has to be inserted between the protrusions on the links that form the chain. The layout of this crest (9) is trapezoidal and isosceles, diverging towards the cog (3), and the lateral surfaces are concave, in such a way that the aforementioned lateral surfaces are joined to the marginal surfaces of the surface (10) of the cog (3), in a markedly rounded way, so there are no sharp edges, which makes it easy to clean the crown when, for example, a jet of water is sprayed onto it.
