Abstract
The invention relates to a device for moving the belt of a belt conveyor used in continuously operated belt sintering between the drawing drum and the folding drum, and for aligning the belt sintering belt to be moved by the belt conveyor with respect to the sintering device. According to the invention, in order to rotate the drawing drum ( ) of the belt conveyor used in belt sintering, in the immediate vicinity of the other end of the drawing drum, there is installed an actuator device ( ) of the belt conveyor, where in at least one rotary element ( ) that is installed co-centrically with the axis ( ) of the drawing drum and cogged on the outer circumference, there is connected at least one actuator element ( ) that is essentially smaller in diameter and cogged on the outer circumference, which actuator element ( ) can be made to rotate by means of an actuating motor ( ) belonging to the actuator device. Moreover, in order to align the belt ( ) of the belt conveyor with respect to the sintering device ( ), the actuator device of the belt conveyor is installed, with respect to the belt conveyor, so that the aligning of the belt ( ) of the belt conveyor can, when necessary, be carried out essentially by moving the whole actuator device ( ) of the belt conveyor.
