ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a belt conveyor capable of greatly reducing friction resistance between side portions of a belt and troughs, comprising troughs (5), a belt moving above the troughs (5) along a longitudinal direction thereof, belt bending members (12) provided outside on both sides of the belt in the width direction so as to be located upstream of an entrance (5a) of the troughs, for abutting with both side portions of the belt to be bent upwardly, load cells (14) for detecting a reactive force exerted by the belt with which the belt bending members (12) make contact, guide rails (16) engaged to cause the belt bending members (12) to be displaced to be fixed at a desired position so as to bend the side portions of the belt or restore the bent belt, and rails (20) for moving the guide rails (16) along the longitudinal direction of the belt.
