Posted by inventor 10/23/2007 7:28 PM | remove   I suspect it was for the conveyor belt on the washing machine I saw there. I'm not sure what it was used for - perhaps washing the cans before they were filled? Posted by Blackbird 10/23/2007 7:41 PM | remove   It may have been to move cans around a corner, the cans would have fit into the thing very well if there was a wall on the other side of them. Posted by inventor 10/23/2007 7:48 PM | remove   That's a possibility I guess. It would be about the right size. But in that case I don't see why the part would consist of two sprockets joined together? Posted by Blackbird 10/24/2007 11:14 AM | remove   If you had one near the top of the can it would drag at the bottom, if it was at the bottom it might come out at the top. Having two would make it so it would do neither of those things. Posted by inventor 10/27/2007 8:40 PM | remove   That sounds logical, but I'm still more partial to the chain sprocket idea. It would be one hell of a heavy piece of hardware just for moving cans around a corner. Posted by Blackbird 10/27/2007 10:45 PM | remove   True, but what would they need the chain for? Posted by inventor 10/29/2007 10:32 PM | remove   I think the chain I saw in a machine moved a really wide conveyor belt. Posted by Blackbird 10/30/2007 7:01 PM | remove   How would it do that? Was it conected at points along the conveyor. Posted by inventor 11/3/2007 12:00 PM | remove   I think the chain was an integral part of the conveyor belt, although I didn't look closely. Posted by Blackbird 11/3/2007 3:55 PM | remove   So the chain was like a double wide bicycle chain on the edge of the conveyor belt? Posted by inventor 11/6/2007 2:15 AM | remove   Yes, I think so. The actual panels of the conveyor belt appeared to be made from some kind of fabric. If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register.
