A conveyor mat built up of plastic intermediate modules and end modules, each module consisting of a plurality of equally spaced-apart hinge plates having hinge loops at the two ends thereof, the hinge plates of a module being coupled to each other by means of a rib (16) asymmetrically located between the hinge loop openings which are located opposite each other, the ends of the hinge plates on a longitudinal side of a module being located between the ends of the hinge plates of a module adjacent in the longitudinal direction of the mat, the hinge loops of the two modules being coupled to each other by means of a hinge pin extending through the hinge loop openings. In operation, when the conveyor mat is driven in a first and second, opposite, direction, a sprocket wheel meshes with a side face of the rib and, respectively, the opposite hinge loop of a module. Through these measures, a conveyor mat is obtained whose modules can have an extremely slight length, up to 0.5". <IMAGE> |
