Abstract: A packaged article is composed of a bulk bag having a top end and a bottom end. Further included is a pallet having a first side and a second side. Also included are an outer bag having a first closed end and a first open end and a heatshrink bag having a second closed end and a second open end. The first closed end of the outer bag is between the bottom end of the bulk bag and the first side of the pallet. The first open end of the outer bag is gathered over the top end of the bulk bag to enclose the bulk bag within the outer bag. The second closed end of the heatshrink bag is proximate to the top end of the bulk bag and the second open end contacts the second side of the pallet.

Abstract: In improved reinforced conveyor belt structure is disclosed having a segmented reinforcing structure for enabling enhanced in-plane expansion of the belt under conditions of extreme in-plane experienced during operation. The belt comprises at least one elastomer layer and at least one reinforcing layer. The reinforcing layer may comprise a continuous strip disposed along the longitudinal center line of the conveyor belt. A series of laterally-extending reinforcing strips are disposed on either side of the center strip, radiating outward toward respective edges of the belt. These laterally-extending strips are spaced apart from one another to form a series of flexibility enhancing gaps therebetween, thus enabling the belt to elongate at its edges without undue restraint from the reinforcing layer. The laterally-extending strips may be oriented perpendicular to the center strip, or they may be oriented at oblique angles with respect to the center strip. The reinforcing layer may comprise one or more plies.
