ABSTRACT

A conveyor drive roller for a conveyor system. The conveyor drive roller has a
hollow drum rotatably connected to a first stationary shaft and a second
stationary shaft, and defines a sealed chamber. The chamber at least partially
encloses means to rotate the hollow drum about the first and second stationary
shafts. A pressure relief valve is positioned on the conveyor drive roller in
fluid communication with the inside of the chamber. The pressure relief valve
is configured to reduce a gas pressure increase inside of the chamber caused
by a rise in a temperature of the conveyor drive roller during operation.
