<p>A two-material conveyor belt module (10) and a method for making it. A conveyor belt module (10) comprises a rigid thermoplastic link substrate (12) topped with a high - friction layer (14) made of a resilient material. A dense array of teeth (26) protrudes upward from the link substrate (12). The resilient material is overmolded onto the link substrate (12) at a temperature high enough to melt the ends of the teeth (26). The melted ends (32) of the teeth (26) mix with the resilient material to form a bond firmly retaining the high - friction layer (14) atop the substrate (12).</p> |
