Abstract: A spiral conveyor belt system generally includes a rotatable cage, a first drive mechanism for rotating the cage about an axis in a first direction, an endless conveyor belt supported by the cage and a rotatable free wheel. The cage drives the conveyor belt along a helical path in a first direction and the rotatable free wheel rotates about an axis in a second direction opposite the first direction for guiding the endless conveyor belt from the cage along a return path and back to the cage. A second drive mechanism is preferably provided for rotating the free wheel.

Abstract: A conveyor belt washer/dryer that includes a housing, which encloses a washing station separated by one or more spray barriers from a drying station. The housing has a passage that is sized and configured to allow the conveyor belt to successively pass through the washing station and the drying station. The washing station includes one or more washing heads, a splash plate and a reservoir. The washing heads discharge a wash liquid onto the top surface of the conveyor belt and the splash plate redirects the wash liquid onto the bottom surface. The reservoir collects the spent wash liquid. The drying station includes one or more air knife/knives that discharge(s) pressurized air onto the conveyor belt to dry the belt.

Abstract: A drive mechanism for a cage in a spiral conveyor belt system including a plurality of tooth segments secured to a drive ring and positioned to define a substantially constant pitch diameter. The drive ring may be formed from a plurality of discrete pie plates positioned adjacent each other and arranged in a substantially circular format around the cage.
