Type B belt conveyors (AB, BC, ABC)

Type B belt conveyors (AB, BC, ABC)

Conveyor systems are used for filling horizontal silos. The meaning of the conveyors marked A, B, C is as follows:

• Conveyor A – the conveyor that transports the produce to conveyor B, which is installed in the silo (this could be a belt conveyor, bucket elevator, or chain conveyor).
• Conveyor B – the conveyor installed along the longitudinal axis of the silo. It moves backwards and forwards along a track, as it is half the length of the silo, and can transport produce in both directions (this may only be a belt conveyor).
• Conveyor C – the conveyor installed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the silo, on a track equipped with driven rollers on both ends. The conveyor, too, moves in both directions along the track, as does the belt. Conveyor B discharges the produce onto this conveyor.

With the above system the constant horizontal load level of silos, the separate filling of silo boxes, and automatic filling can all be achieved.
