ABSTRACT:
Corner units for automated animal feed conveyors and the like include a wheel about which a feed carrier, such as an endless chain or belt, is guided. A wear plate and wheel mounting arrangement for such corner units comprises a wear plate having a generally regular shape with a geometric center supported on the base of the unit housing adjacent the corner thereof. A spindle rotatably mounts the wheel thereon, and is attached to the wear plate at a location eccentric to the geometric center of the wear plate, whereby rotation of the wear plate about its geometric center with respect to the housing base shifts the wheel between a first position wherein a narrow feed carrier is centered in the housing and a second position wherein a wider feed carrier is centered in the housing. Fasteners rigidly attach the wear plate to the housing base in one of the positions selected in accordance with the width of the feed carrier, thereby adapting the housing for conversion to use either narrow or wide feed conveyors.
