Patent number: 11186441Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for monitoring and removing contaminants from a conveyor surface based upon predicted frictional engagement qualities detected on a conveyor surface. In some examples, the methods may include monitoring the conveyor surface with at least one sensor configured to sense a condition on the conveyor surface. The sensor may detect the presence of a contaminant, and communicate the location of the detected contaminant to a processor. A treatment cycle may then be initiated to remove or displace the contaminant from the conveyor surface after the presence of a contaminant has been detected.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: REXNORD INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: Andrea Andreoli, Cornelis Hendrik Mijndert Menke, Justin Michael Stefanko, Philip Michael Gabor

Patent number: 10301115Abstract: A modular conveying assembly that includes a plurality of roller bodies, a driving member, a positive stop body, and a positive stop actuator. Each roller body includes a top surface, a driven axle mounted to the roller body for conveyance therewith, a roller fixed to the driven axle, and a driven surface fixed to the driven axle. The rollers define a support plane. The driving member selectively engages the driven surfaces to affect rotation of the driven axle. The positive stop body is coupled to the plurality of roller bodies and includes a positive stop that is movable relative to the positive stop body between a first position and a second position. The positive stop extends above the support plane in the second position. The positive stop actuator selectively engages the positive stop to move the positive stop between the first position and the second position.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2018Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: REXNORD INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: Justin Michael Stefanko, Philip Michael Gabor
