Abstract: A lateral chain link for conveyor belts, particularly for food, includes a substantially U-shaped body wherein the front portion is shaped to be inserted between two facing end parts of a rear portion of a facing identical link. The front portion has two longitudinally extending symmetrical slots for the passage and traverse of an end portion of a first rod-like element of a conveyor belt. The rear portion has an opening on one of its end parts, for inserting an end portion of an additional rod-like element. The outer rear end part has a contoured lateral tab for meshing with a toothed wheel, or belt, of associated entrainment means, and has a lower tipping-preventing side wall. The link is constituted by two parts which are mutually joined with a reversible fixing component: a first part includes the U-shaped body, and the second part includes the lateral tab and lower tipping-preventing side wall.

Abstract: A drive for conveyor belts, of the type that comprises, associated with a travel frame for a conveyor belt with at least one transport chain, transport elements for the belt and a device for recovering any elongation of the belt. The belt elongation recovery device is constituted by a supporting element for the transport element, which floats adjacent to the belt and is coupled to a box-like body for containing the drive by way of at least one sliding guide and by way of an elastic tension-preventing member for the belt.

Abstract: A flexible chain conveyor, comprising at least one mutually parallel chain having links whereon rod-like elements are fixed transversely; the links that constitute the at least one chain being inclined by a preset angle with respect to an imaginary plane which is perpendicular to the advancement plane of the conveyor.
