Abstract

A conveyor belt comprising a load carrying top surface assembled from links extending sidewards of the width of the belt, and which incorporates eyeparts (17, 18) on the first row provided with holes in sidewards alignment for the connection rods (23), and where the holes at the eyeparts at second row have been extended as slots, in which the connection rods (23) are movable in the direction towards first rows eyeparts and where the eyeparts at first row are tied to the eyeparts at second row by means of connection parts (19), and where the side links have been provided with L-shaped guide tabs, intended to guide the conveyor belt in horizontal and in vertical direction and to retain the conveyor belt at the supporting wear profiles. In order to allow change and replacement of the guide tabs, which wear much faster than other parts of the conveyor belt, the side links have been provided with a downwards extension, which incorporates a profiled cavity (21), through which the connection rod (23) can be inserted, and which provides space for an exchangeable guide/lock insert, which by means of a snap-fit lock system can be locked to the side link and to the connection rod (23).
