A pressing assembly for a conveyor having a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt includes a roller support, a linkage coupled to the roller support, a roller rotatably coupled to the linkage, the roller configured to engage the first conveyor belt to press the first conveyor belt toward the second conveyor belt, and a deflector engageable with the first conveyor belt to inhibit contact between the first conveyor belt and the linkage.

Deflector for high angle conveyor pressing assembly

A high angle conveyor includes a frame, a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, and a pressing assembly configured to press the first conveyor belt toward the second conveyor belt. The pressing assembly includes a bracket pivotally coupled to the frame, a roller support pivotally coupled to the bracket at a pivot joint, a plurality of rollers coupled to the roller support, the plurality of rollers configured to engage the first conveyor belt, and a deflector configured to inhibit contact between the first conveyor belt and the pivot joint.

A high angle conveyor includes a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, a first idler roller engaged with the first conveyor belt, the first idler roller being coupled to a first pivot frame, and a second idler roller engaged with the second conveyor belt, the second idler roller being coupled to a second pivot frame. The first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt define an inflection point between the first idler roller and the second idler roller. The first and second pivot frames are pivotable from an initial position toward an expanded position in response to a lump of material larger than a specified capacity of the high angle conveyor passing through the inflection point.
