ABSTRACT:
A conveyor12includes an infeed/scanning section (18) and a cutting/outfeed section (22). Both sections have an endless belt (70) and (180) each driven by a friction drive roller (100) and (200). Adequate frictional load is applied between the endless belts and corresponding drive rollers by tension assemblies, each having a tensioning roller (86), (188) rotatably mounted on a pivot frame structure (112), (220) allowing the weight of the tensioning roller to be applied to the return run of the endless belts. Dampeners (130) (270) are integrated with the tensioning rollers (86) (188) to dampen vibrations in the endless belts (70) (180).
