Abstract
A side wall and cover system for conveyor assemblies for containing particulates during conveyor operation. The invention utilizes rollers that are centrally positioned on corresponding support members which support a pair of angled wings the roller sides. These angled wings support impact bars that are aligned in the direction of conveyor movement and support a troughed conveyor belt. Side walls are secured to the angled wings and include an upper surface to which a cover is releasably secured. Seals and gaskets are positioned between confronting surfaces of these components to prevent dust particulates from emanating between the surfaces. The side walls permit additional conveying volume at the sides of the conveyor and a roller hanger is also provided to facilitate the servicing of such rollers without the need to lift the conveyor belt. Plural side wall/cover systems can be releasably secured together using side wall-projecting flanges and interlocking tabs.
