ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system including a wetting station having a container adapted for holding a wetting agent; a slack conveyor belt having at least its transfer path portion extending through the container and at least a part of that portion dipping below the level of the wetting agent; and a ballast roller, at least partially submerged in the wetting agent and bearing on the part of the transfer path portion of the conveyor belt which dips into the wetting agent, for compelling conveyed objects to pass submerged in the wetting agent between the ballast roller and the conveyor belt; and a rotating conveyor station including a hollow drum open at one end; means for rotating the drum about a generally horizontal longitudinal axis; and a plurality of pick-up elements extending generally radially inwardly from the inner surface of the drum for picking up items accumulated in the lower position in the drum and carrying them to the upper position in the drum for release onto an intermediate conveyor; and a self cleaning conveyor unit including a support structure having a bottom member and two side members; a plurality of roller means supported by the support structure and a perforate conveyor belt driven on the roller means and extending in its return path along the bottom member for a substantial portion of the length of the bottom member for sweeping particles dropped from the transported objects and accumulating on the bottom member in the direction from the terminus toward the origin of the conveyor belt.
