  • Patent number: 10399786
    Abstract: Conveyor support rail attachment, comprising a plurality of attachment means arranged spaced apart along a longitudinal center axis, where every second attachment means is arranged on a left side of the center axis and every other attachment means is arranged on a right side of the center axis, and where each attachment means is provided with a bearing surface adapted to bear against a side section of a support rail, such that the support rail is supported only on one side at each attachment means. The advantage of the invention is that a support rail can easily be mounted to and removed from the conveyor support rail attachment, and further that the bearing surface between the support rail and the attachment means can be minimized. This allows for a support rail that is easy to clean.

  • Patent number: 9604789
    Abstract: Guide rail for an easy to clean conveyor, where the guide rail is adapted to have a straight position, in which position the guide rail is adapted to support a conveyor chain, and a folded position spaced apart from the straight position, where the guide rail comprises an upper support part adapted to glidingly support a conveyor chain, and a lower attachment part adapted to attach the guide rail to a holder, where the lower attachment part is adapted to allow the guide rail to pivot in the holder between the straight position and the folded position. In this way, a guide rail that allows for an easy cleaning of a conveyor is provided for. Such conveyors are e.g. used in the food industry.

  • Patent number: 9238550
    Abstract: Conveyor beam for a conveyor system, comprising a plurality of connector elements and at least two conveyor beam elements, where the connector element comprises a central portion, two outer portions and two peripherally grooves extending peripherally around the connector element between the central portion and the outer portions, where the connector element is provided with a first inserting position in which the connector element is inserted between two conveyor beam elements with the first outer portion positioned in a channel of a first conveyor beam element and the second outer portion positioned in a channel of a second conveyor beam elements, and a second arresting position, in which the connector element locks the conveyor beam elements together to form the conveyor beam. The advantage of the invention is that a conveyor beam of any desired shape can be obtained in an easy and fast way.
