FIELD: mechanical engineering; conveyor. SUBSTANCE: proposed belt conveyor has frame, endless conveyor belt closed in vertical plane on drums and resting by sides on two carrying cables, disk rollers installed on frame along conveyor to form carrying and return runs. Sides of belt with carrying cables are coupled be means of clamps secured to sides of belt. Cables are coupled with T-shaped belts by means of clamps.
