An endless transport conveyor belt (120) adapted to travel along straight and curving helical paths. The belt is formed by transverse rods, links conjoining the rods, and stacker plates (124) along one or both edges of the belt (120). The links can be flat wire, slotted tractive links (138) with a central double row of straigth tension links (134). Each of the stacker plates (124) has an upright body portion (157), a stacker support portion on top thereof (and preferably with an inside-outside tab configuration), and a base portion (160) at the bottom thereof. The base portion (160) extends out from one or both sides of the body portion (157) in an open or closed C or an S shape, for example, to provide greater plate stability. The rods pass through holes or slots (156, 157) in the base portion (and the body portion) such that the plate can articulate relative to the rods, if needed. The body portiion (157) can be planar or can have a pair of oppositely directed vertical bends (164, 167). |
