Zusammenfassung:Apparatus for supporting a conveyor belt (2) beneath a loading station, comprising a number of elongate impact assemblies placed side-by-side and each having a support beam (5) on which is mounted an elastomeric layer (6) and a friction block (7) typically of polyethylene. The friction block sits on top of the elastomeric layer (6) held transversely by guides (10) engaged with longitudinal grooves in the friction block (7), and longitudinally by an end stop (18). The guides (10) allow vertical movement of the friction block as the elastomeric layer (6) compresses during impact from material being loaded on to the conveyor. The friction block (7) can be readily replaced when worn by sliding the block longitudinally to disengage the guides (10) from the grooves in the friction block.
