Abstract: A drive and guide arrangement for an endless conveyor includes a plurality of transport members, at least one drive wheel, and at least one chain of rubber links forming a traction member having respective end regions. The chain is reversible around the drive wheel at at least one of the end regions. The chain includes steel cable traction supports arranged within the rubber links. A first side of the chain faces the transport members and is formed with a plurality of block teeth. At least two of the block teeth have bores formed therethrough separated from one another by a predetermined distance. A second side of the chain opposite to the first side is formed with a plurality of drive teeth for engaging with the drive wheel. A guide is provided having a receiving profile and located adjacent to the chain. A plurality of connecting-and-guide members join the chain to the transport members.
