<p>An endless conveyor belt (20) is formed of plastic belt modules (23) and capable of following a curved path. The modules (23) include first and second module surfaces, i.e., a top, product-conveying surface and a bottom, sprocket-driven surface. An intermediate section extends across the width of each module (23) transverse to the direction of belt travel. A plurality of snap-on side guards (35) are mounted in vertical openings (38) disposed in the belt modules (23). Each side guard (35) includes a central post (41) having opposed wings (44, 47) extending in a forwardly and a rearwardly direction along the direction of conveyor belt travel. The wings (44, 47) are staggered in the lateral direction so that the forward wing (44, 47) of a first side guard (35) overlaps with the rearward wing (44, 47) of an immediately adjacent second side guard (35). <IMAGE></p> |
