A module for forming a conveyor belt (22) having a high friction conveying surface and which is comprised of a plurality of identical modules (36) preferably formed by injection moulding is disclosed. Each module (36) has a top portion and bottom portion, and includes a plurality of elongated elements each of which has first pivot ends (36A) and second pivot ends (36B) formed integral with an intermediate section (54). Each of the plurality of pivot ends 36A, 36B) define pivot holes (62) which have axes (64, 66) aligned such that the pivot ends of other modules may be pivotally connected by a pivot rod (46). Modules of a conveying belt include means (94) for receiving a driving force which is applied to the module orthogonally to the pivot axis and substantially parallel to a first plane defined by the first and second axis (64, 66). The top side of each module defines an area (74) for attaching a frictional member (72) and the frictional member (72) has a bottom side or attaching portion (80) which co-operates with the area (74) on the top side of the module. |
