A rod treatment line consists of a rod conveyor on which the rod is carried in open loop form, a coil forming device for forming the rod into coils, and a coil loader for moving the coils from the coil forming device to a loading station with the axes of the coils horizontal. For removing the coils there is a conveying system consisting of a number of hooks suspended from a track, the hooks being aligned with the track and pointed in the direction opposite to the direction of movement. In order ...

Conveying apparatus which may be embodied as a jib for a cutter-loader machine in tunnelling or mining applications. The apparatus employs a scraper-chain assembly which in known manner is entrained around rotatable members and is circulated within guide channels with side surfaces adjoined by a base or floor surface. An electric drive motor is coupled via reduction-ratio gearing unit to one or other of the rotatable members. The motor and the gearing each have housings joined together end-to-en...

It is an object of the present invention to provide a conveying apparatus which guides a conveying target object in the conveying direction while preventing it from falling off from rollers and in which intervals between the adjacent rollers can be narrowed. The present invention is a conveying apparatus comprising a plurality of rollers which are arranged in a conveying direction of a conveying target object and on which the conveying target object is to be placed, wherein the plurality of roll...

A carousel conveyor system for transporting articles, including a first conveyor for directing articles in a general horizontal direction, a set carousel conveyor carrier having a first section for elevating an article from the first conveyor and a second section for lowering an article onto the first conveyor, with the carousel conveyor having a plurality of rollers for supporting an article as the article is raised or lowered, and the carousel conveyor having apparatus for powering the rollers...

A conveying device (1) for granular material (2) to be transported has a conveying line (3) which is connected to a suction appliance (7). Along the conveying line (3) is an induction coil (8), which is connected to a control device (10) for a discharge flap (13). By means of the latter, metal particles (2') are separated from the material (2) via a discharge opening (23). The discharge flap (13) and the discharge opening (23) lie inside a separator container (9') of a metal separator (9) throug...

There is provided specialized conveying apparatus for transporting articles which are confined to a tube or chamber within which the cleanliness is maintained at extremely high levels by utilizing existing precipitator and other apparatus, the motion of the pallet on which the articles to be processed are carried being produced by a motor-driven truck which is isolated pneumatically from the article-carrying pallet but which is coupled magnetically to elements on that pallet so that the pallet i...

A conveying apparatus has a main conveying mechanism and a subsidiary conveying mechanism. The main conveying mechanism conveys a case having an object therein along a main conveying path. The subsidiary conveying mechanism conveys the case along a subsidiary conveying path extending from the main conveying onto the subsidiary conveying mechanism path. A case-supply portion, for supplying the case, is provided at an extending end of the subsidiary conveying path. A weight-detection mechanism is ...

A conveying apparatus having a work portion including two work runs disposed to travel at an angle to each other is disclosed. The apparatus includes means for guiding the work portion of an endless conveyor belt whereby first and second work runs lying at an angle to each other and connected by a downwardly extending loop are provided. The guide means is further arranged such that the discharge end of the first work run lies in a plane above the receiving end of the second work run. Means for d...
