A conveyor system includes a conveyor having an endless loop flexible member and a plurality of inserts. The conveyor system additionally includes a drive shaft and a sprocket coupled to the drive shaft. The sprocket includes a hub and a plurality of teeth extending radially outward from the hub, where at least one tooth is substantially planar and defines a channel having a plate disposed within the channel. The sprocket also includes a sprocket tooth cap fixedly coupled via an interference fit to the tooth and the plate. The sprocket tooth cap includes a first end defining a channel and an engagement face configured to drivingly engage the endless loop flexible member, and a second end defining a cavity. The cavity defining a pair of opposite facing surfaces, where the pair of opposite facing surfaces is configured to form the interference fit with the at least one tooth.

A cleaning pig assembly is provided for use on a tubular drag conveyor. The assembly is quickly and easily mounted anywhere along the cable, chain, or rope via slots in the assembly components. The components include a puck, a plate, a drag disc, and a cleaning member or tool sandwiched between the puck and the plate. The drag disc provides interference fit on the cable, chain, or rope holding the assembly on the cable, chain, or rope and prevents sliding of the assembly along the cable, chain, or rope during use. The cleaning assembly is installed without the use of tools or clamps. Multiple interchangeable cleaning members are provided depending on cleaning needs.

An apparatus and method for preparing coated cable for a cable conveyor system. The apparatus includes a stripping die, a swaging die, and a spacing fixture spaced from each other at a predetermined interval that corresponds to the spacing interval between discs in a cable conveyor system. The apparatus facilitates the method of stripping a section of coating from the coated cable, and securing a barrel to the cable over the stripped section. The barrel acts as an attachment point for molded discs carried on the cable.

An improvement to cable conveyor system using a pneumatic cylinder system for keeping a cable tight is provided for preventing damage to the system if the cable stretches/fails or is too loose. The fluid cylinder/piston applies a force on the cable proportionate to the pressure that is regulated to the cylinder during normal operation of the cable conveyor system. The relative position of a magnetic switch and a magnet on a piston in the cylinder, provides a way to sense a lack of tension in the cable and shut the system down before damage is done to the conveyor. Likewise, if the cable stretches or fails, a carriage having an idler thereon, will move close enough to a proximity switch to cause the proximity switch to shut down the system.
