A flight module for use in a modular conveying belt for holding material on a moving belt. The module includes an intermediate portion having an upstanding wall that extends therefrom. The upstanding wall is corrugated in a direction transverse to the direction of belt travel. A first plurality of link ends extend outwardly from the intermediate portion and have openings defined therein that are transverse to the direction of belt travel. A second plurality of link ends extend outwardly from the intermediate portion in a direction opposite to the first plurality of link ends. The second plurality of link ends also have openings defined therein that are transverse to the direction of belt travel. The link ends are arranged such that the openings in respective link ends are capable of aligning when a pair of adjacent belt modules are juxtaposed. A pivot rod journaled in the aligned apertures of the side-by-side and end-to-end connected modules forms a hinge between adjacent rows. Rows of belt modules are connected together to form an endless conveyor belt capable of articulating about a drive sprocket.
