<p>A belt module (10) comprises an intermediate section (31) having a top surface (13) . A first plurality of link ends (16) is connected to the intermediate section (31) at a first proximal portion and extends from the intermediate section (31) in a direction of belt travel (34) to a first distal portion (37) at the link ends (16) . The first link ends (16) have a first opening through a thickness (28) between and to opposed side walls (22, 25) . The first opening is disposed transverse to the direction of belt travel (34) . The belt module (10) also includes a second plurality of link ends (19) connected to the intermediate section (31) at a second proximal portion and extending from the intermediate section (31) in a direction opposite to the first link ends (16) to a second distal portion at the link ends (19) . The second link ends (19) have a second opening through a thickness between and to opposed side walls. The second opening is disposed transverse to the direction of belt travel (34) . The first and second plurality of link ends (16, 19) have vents (46) defined therein at the distal portion (37) .</p> |
