Conveyor mat and conveying apparatus

摘要

A conveyor mat for conveying products in a conveying direction between at least two divert wheels. The conveyor mat comprises a number of rows of side-by-side modules succeeding each other in the conveying direction and extending transversely to the conveying direction. Incorporated into the conveyor mat are a number of guide modules (11A) which have their bottom side provided with guide members (18) for cooperation with a guide provided on a conveying track (10A). According to the invention, the guide modules are incorporated into the conveyor mat so as to be substantially equally spaced from one of the lateral edges thereof, such that the guide members together constitute one narrow, slotted guide track extending in conveying direction. In an advantageous manner, the guide modules can be incorporated adjacent a lateral edge of the conveyor mat or in or adjacent the center of the conveyor mat. <IMAGE>
