Afschuifband

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
Afhankelijk van de uitvoering is de Afschuifband in het algemeen opgebouwd uit een aantal hoofdonderdelen:

One of the components is the Transportband (Conveyor belt). Then what would be the best translation for Afschuifband?
Proposed translations (English)
4 Conveyor with plow-off(s)

Jack den Haan Jul 26, 2017:
Any idea as to its function?
Edirel Susanna (asker) Jul 26, 2017:
Hi, thanks for your input. For afschuiver, I was able to research online, and I found "push-off mechanism"......therefore, push-off belt could be a proper fit for afschuifband.
Michael Beijer Jul 26, 2017:
hmm. I don't suppose you have a picture, do you?

I did find one patent online (which looks like a translation from either French or German) calling it a "push-off belt".

and I found this in Huitenga:


AFSCHUIFBORD, (v. trekkerlader) push-off stacker; (v. stalmeststrooier) pushing board.
AFSCHUIFVORK, (v. perspotten) = push-off fork.


and OGL:

afschuifboek = shear angle
afschuifkracht = shear force
afschuifspanning = shear(ing) stress
afschuifvlak = shear plane
[…]
afschuiven (m.b.t. constructie)= to shear; (m.b.t. grond) to slide, to slip

afschuiving (m.b.t. constructie) = shear(ing); (m.b.t. grond) = slide, slip(page);
bezwijken door afschuiving = shear
failure
breuk door afschuiving = shear fracture;
hoek van afschuiving = angle of slide
zuivere afschuiving = pure shear
afschuivingscoefficient = shear modulus, modulus of rigidity, modulus of torsion
afschuivingsvlak = shear plane

Conveyor with plow-off(s)

I asked those with expertise in this field, the response was as follows.

An 'afschuifband' is called a Conveyor with Plow-offs.
This concerns a conveyor belt that slides the products off to the side by means of plow-off or slide-off slats (afschuiflatten).

Plow-off would be the American English spelling.
Plough-off the British English spelling.
