More Information
Summary:A conveyor for a flexible slurry hose of the type carried on a plurality of wheel-supported carts interconnected by an articulated linkage. The conveyor provides guidance and track means for transporting the carts and hose through a 180 DEG turn by lifting the wheels from the ground and guiding the linkage through the 180 DEG turn. The hose linkage and carts are guided through portions of an elliptical path before and after passing through an arc of a circle facilitating greater ease in negotiation of the entire turn, and a lesser degree of lateral displacement of the linkage than in systems guiding through a 180 DEG path of travel formed on a constant radius.
