ABSTRACT:
A conveyor belt has a textured edge for use in a spiral conveyor which includes a plurality of protrusions on the edge of the belt engaging the capstan, providing enhanced friction between the belt and the capstan. The protrusions may be placed on end links or reenforcement links, and may be a part of rods connecting links of the belt. In one of the embodiments, the capstan is textured as well to provide an additional friction. As the result, the driving force is transmitted to the belt much more efficiently, and the practical use of the plastic conveyor belt in the spiral conveyor systems is possible. In one of the embodiments, the conveyor belt is made predominantly of plastic.
