ABSTRACT:
A modular plastic conveyor belt constructed of flexible belt modules molded out of a material such as a flexible elastomeric compound that enables the belt to wrap closely around drive sprockets. Drive elements in the bottom of the belt are uniformly spaced in the direction of belt travel. The distance between consecutive drive elements is the drive pitch, which is less than the pitch, roughly the length, of each module. A belt constructed of these modules has fewer joints between modules than a typical modular conveyor belt of the same length.
