FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: conveyor includes elongated load-carrying construction of conveyor and support devices for conveyor belt, which are installed on that load-carrying construction. Support devices include driven pulley mechanism having two sections installed on support element of pulley with possibility of rotation around common central rotation axis. Support element of pulley includes central support part located on inner ends of pulley sections and passing radially in outside direction from inner ends relative to rotation axis to vertically passing rotation axis. Connection support device installs the support element of pulley on the load-carrying conveyor construction and contains hinge connector connecting the central support part to connection support device so that rotary movement about rotation axis is provided. Drive can turn the support element of pulley about rotation axis.
EFFECT: supporting the belt in central area of mechanism of driven pulley when using in low-profile conveyor.
