ABSTRACT:
An improved belt conveyor for conveying granular materials, such as grain. The conveyor comprises a pair of end sections which are connected together by a plurality of central sections to provide the conveyor with the desired length. An endless conveyor belt, having a plurality of integrally molded cleats, is carried by a pair of drive rollers, each of which is journalled in one of the end sections. The grain, or other granular material, is fed into a hopper at one of the end sections and is conveyed along the bottom surface of the conveyor sections by the cleats and is discharged through openings in the bottom surface to feed bins. The central conveyor sections are tapered throughout their length so that adjacent ends of the sections can be telescoped together to conveniently vary the length of the conveyor and facilitate attachment of the conveyor sections. The openings in the bottom surface of the conveyor sections can be closed off by manually movable closure plates to thereby vary the distribution pattern to various feed bins.
