ABSTRACT:
A conveyor belt support mechanism comprising a plurality of slider bars, each having multiple low friction wear surfaces with one wear surface in sliding engagement with the conveyor belt and an adjustment mechanism to compensate for wear to said wear surface by moving the slide bar closer to the conveyor belt as the wear surface wears, and a vertical support system for positioning said slider bars. When loads such as impact loads are placed on the conveyor belt, the slider bars support the conveyor belt and prevent the belt from sagging and stretching. As one wear surface of a slider bar becomes worn past an acceptable limit, the slider bar may be removed and repositioned so that a new wear surface engages the conveyor belt.
