Abstract
A machine which has an endless conveyer belt for conveying workpieces past a work station where operations such as, for example, grinding operations are performed on the workpieces. Thus this conveyer belt has upper and lower runs and a support extends between these upper and lower runs and has an upper surface engaging a lower surface of the upper run of the conveyor belt to support this upper run for sliding movement. A part of the upper surface of the support, which engages the lower surface of the upper run of the belt, includes structure for cleaning the conveyor belt at the lower surface of its upper run so as to avoid any possible undesired separation of the upper run of the endless belt from the upper surface of the support.
