ABSTRACT:
A modular conveyor belt sealing system is provided including a plurality of modular units, each unit including a lightweight frame and one or more wear liners removably fastened to the interior of each frame. The modules are removably positioned adjacent each edge of the conveyor belt. The modules extend along each edge of the conveyor belt as desired and are removably fastened in place and to one another end to end. Each module is of equal length and may include different interior configurations of straight, inwardly deflecting or outwardly deflecting wear liners. Each module may additionally include an inner liner attached to the interior of the frame between the frame and the wear liner, with the wear liner spaced apart from the inner liner, defining a passageway therebetween and extending from the bottom of the module at the conveyor belt edge to the top of the module. Each module is independently removable from and replaceable on the conveyor belt system from the exterior of the system and each modular unit is interchangeable with one another. One or more adjustable stiffeners may be attached to the exterior of each modular unit to provide added rigidity and to aid in alignment of the wear surfaces. The wear liners of each module are also removable from and replaceable on the frames of the modular units.
