ABSTRACT:
A belt conveyer and a conveying system using a belt conveyer. The system is designed to convey articles around curves and between vertically and horizontally spaced locations. The belt used in the system has a central substantially inextensible flexible spine and an upper load carrying portion supported by the spine. The load carrying portion has a plurality of ribs and a plurality of pleats interposed between the ribs. The ribs provide rigidity for the belt and limit movement of articles with respect to the belt, while the pleats provide longitudinal extension and contraction of side edges when the belt is following a curved path. The distance between top edges of the pleats and top edges of the ribs increases from outer edges of the belt towards the center so that top edges of the pleats are generally V shaped and conveyed articles and juices and liquids exuded from the conveyed articles tend to be conveyed in a central region of the belt.
