Abstract
A skirtboard apron for a belt conveyor is formed as an elongated molded or extruded elastomer member having a U-shaped upper mounting portion that slides onto the lower part of a skirtboard; the legs of the U-shaped mounting portion grip the sides of the skirtboard. A wiper portion of the apron, integral with the mounting portion, projects down into engagement with the conveyor belt. No fasteners are required, and no wear adjustments are necessary.
