Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A conveyor belt system includes a conveyor belt extending in a longitudinal direction and a plurality of support roller stations disposed at a distance from each other in the longitudinal direction and on which the conveyor belt is supported by support rollers. The conveyor belt is formed from a flexible base material and a plurality of unconnected traction devices which determine the tensile strength or rigidity of the conveyor belt and which extend in the longitudinal direction. As seen in the cross-section of the conveyor belt and with respect to a desired position on a central belt section supported on a support roller of the support roller station, the tensile strength or rigidity relative to the belt width is less than on laterally adjoining belt sections which are not supported in the desired position by a support roller. A conveyor belt is also provided.
