Abstract

A sling belt conveyor has a pair of individually tensioned cables (209, 224) with transverse slings (51) pivotally connected to the cables (209, 224) which support a low tension conveyor belt (61) without being connected thereto. The belt (61) extends beyond the path of the support cables (209, 224) and is tensioned independently of the latter.
