  • Patent number: 11713194
    Abstract: A modular conveyor belt (10) comprises a plurality of first rows of one or more belt modules (20) and a plurality of second rows of one or more belt modules (40). Each of the first rows comprises a first drive surface (26) for receiving a force-transmitting surface of a first series of force-transmitting surfaces of a drive sprocket, the first drive surfaces (26) of the first rows being arranged along a first line in a direction of belt travel (T). Each of the second rows comprises a second drive surface (48) for receiving a force-transmitting surface of a second series of force-transmitting surfaces of the drive sprocket, the second drive surfaces (48) of the second rows being arranged along a second line in the direction of belt travel (T). The first line and the second line are offset with respect to each other.

  • Patent number: 10934095
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a modular belt having two or more longitudinal belt sections. Each belt section includes a traction element having a cord and a plurality of drive elements attached to the cord. The drive elements are spaced apart along a length of the cord. The belt section further includes a plurality of belt plates. Each belt plate is removably attached to a corresponding drive element of the traction element. The belt section may comprise at least one additional traction element to which each belt plate is attached. In this way, each belt plate may be attached to two or more traction elements. The modular belt includes two or more connectors, wherein each connector is configured to longitudinally couple two belt sections in order to form the modular belt as an endless belt.

  • Patent number: 10752446
    Abstract: A hybrid module has a bridge section with a first transverse end and a second transverse end. Each end module has a body with an inner end and an outer end. The inner ends of each module are configured to be attached to a corresponding end of the bridge section. The inner ends may be removably attached to the corresponding ends of the bridge section using a coupler on the inner end and, in some cases, a mating coupler on the corresponding end of the bridge section.
