Abstract
A conveyor belt unit () has a configuration-changing mechanism useful for switching between a ready-to-operate configuration and a not-ready-to-operate configuration. A specific embodiment uses a rotating joint element () with a thin material bridge () that defines a rotary axis. Used with a dynamic checkweigher, the conveyor belt unit has a carrier frame () and a belt body () connected to it. Rollers () are arranged at the ends in transport direction (T) and contrary to the transport direction, with a conveyor belt () tensioned across the conveyor rollers. A motor drives the conveyor belt () by means of one of the rollers (). The configuration-changing mechanism is effective between the belt body and the carrier frame.
