There is provided a conveyor system having a conveyor belt for continuously transporting materials from a feed hopper to an end feed mechanism and a means for continuously weighing the bulk material as they pass over the weigh span of the conveyor belt. The conveyor system comprises a continuous conveyor belt disposed about a pair of pulleys for transporting a material from a feed hopper to a feed mechanism, at least one pair of support rollers, and a weigh assembly having a weigh roller means for continuously determining the weight of materials within the weigh span of the conveyor belt. The support rollers are positioned under the upper portion of the conveyor belt and spaced apart to define the boundaries of the weigh span. Moreover, the support rollers are disposed on opposite sides of the weigh roller wherein the pitch between each support roller and the weigh roller are identical and wherein the support rollers and the weigh roller are on the same horizontal plane.

Continuing belt-type conveyor and means for weighing contents

A spliced conveyer belt assembly having a belt which includes: first and second belt ends; a load carrying ply which is coextensive with the full length of the belt; first and second reinforcing plies spaced from the load carrying ply, the first and second reinforcing plies being disposed adjacent to the first and second belt ends, respectively; and a hinged joint having a plurality of first belt end fasteners and second belt end fasteners, each belt end fastener including first and second apertured plates disposed respectively adjacent to the respective sides of the belt at the respective first and second belt ends, and a bight capable of connecting the first apertured plate to second apertured plate; at least one securing device which is capable of extending through the apertures in the first and second apertured plates and through the belt; and a hinge pin extending through the bights of the first and second belt end fasteners.
