Hoods are designed to protect the bel t, materi al and
i dlers from the weather.

Often times it is necessary and most always desirable to keep the conveyor
material from being windblown and exposed to moisture.
Stephens-Adamson Standard Style A-1 Belt Conveyor Hoods cover and
protect not only the material but the belt and idlers as well.
This enclosure also protects the belt from being dried out by the sun and
prevents idler rollers and belt from freezing which could lead to costly start-up
problems.


Cover secti ons are supported on bands of heavi er gauge
steel or aluminum, easi ly opened and cl osed by one man.
The support bands bol t di rectl y to the foot brackets,
which are then, bol ted to the top of channel stringers or
top chords of truss frames. Thi s si mple desi gn l owers
the cost and ti me of fi eld erecti on.
