To provide a conveyor assembly capable of preventing segregation of an asphalt material in the center line, and to provide an asphalt paving machine.
The conveyor assembly 20 includes: a first conveyor 22; a second conveyor 26 generally parallel to the first conveyor; a central space 28 which is defined between the first conveyor 22 and the second conveyor 26; and a cover assembly 30. The cover assembly 30 is positioned over the central space 28 and includes a cover member covering inner chains of the conveyor and having an upper surface substantially parallel to the conveyor surfaces. The cover member 86 substantially prevents the material from entering the central space 28 between the first conveyor 22 and the second conveyor 26, and includes a divider member 94 connected to the cover member 86 and extends generally perpendicular to the upper surface. The conveyor assembly 20 includes scraper members 146 operable to move the material on the upper surface of the cover during movement of the conveyor chains.
