Abstract
An impact bed for supporting a conveyor belt in a troughing configuration. The impact bed has a plurality of resilient impact bars running lengthwise in a travel direction of the conveyor belt. The plurality of resilient impact bars includes at least a first resilient impact bar having a planar orientation, a second resilient impact bar having a troughing angled orientation and a third resilient impact bar between the first resilient impact bar and second resilient impact bar. The third resilient impact bar has an intermediate angled orientation that is greater than the planar orientation of the first resilient impact bar and less than the troughing angled orientation of the second resilient impact bar. The third resilient impact bar is removable from the impact bed without removing the first resilient impact bar or second resilient impact bar from the impact bed.
