  • Module for a perforated flat top belt with hinge gap for better fluid flow
    Patent number: 7364036
    Abstract: A belt module comprising an intermediate section having a top surface. A first plurality of link ends have opposed side walls that provide the first link ends with a first transverse thickness. The transverse thickness is connected to the intermediate section at a first proximal portion and extends from the intermediate section in a direction of belt travel to a first distal portion at the link ends. The first link ends have a first opening through the thickness between and to the opposed side walls. The first opening is disposed transverse to the direction of belt travel. The belt module also includes a second plurality of link ends having opposed side walls providing the second link ends with a second transverse thickness. The second transverse thickness is connected to the intermediate section at a second proximal portion and extends from the intermediate section in a direction opposite to the first link ends to a second distal portion at the link ends.
