Abstract:
A conveyor system for conveying material may include a conveyor belt, a feeding mechanism for feeding materials to be conveyed onto the conveyor belt, and a belt system in which the conveyor belt is guided. The belt system may include a first belt-shaping device with which the conveyor belt can be shaped into a U shape. Thus the material to be conveyed may be brought from a substantially flat shape into the U shape. A second belt-shaping device of the belt system may shape the conveyor belt downstream of the feeding mechanism in the conveying direction to form a closed tube. The feeding mechanism may include a catching region configured such that material to be conveyed accumulates therein and forms an impact surface onto which the material to be conveyed can be fed.

Claim (Index 14):
A conveyor system comprising:\n a conveyor belt; a feeding mechanism for feeding material to be conveyed onto the conveyor belt; a belt system in which the conveyor belt is guided, wherein the belt system comprises:\n a first belt-shaping device with which the conveyor belt is shaped from a substantially flat shape into a U shape configured to receive the material to be conveyed, wherein the U shape has in a conveying direction a cross section that is constant with respect to the conveying direction, the U shape comprising two limbs and a base connecting the limbs such that the limbs are disposed at an acute angle with respect to each other in the cross section of the conveyor belt, wherein the base comprises an apex of the acute angle, and \n a second belt-shaping device with which the conveyor belt is configured to be shaped in the conveying direction downstream of the feeding mechanism to form a closed tube, \n wherein each of the first and second belt-shaping devices include at least three rollers that shape the conveyor belt, wherein the rollers are disposed along a surface of the conveyor belt that faces away from the material to be conveyed.
