A modular plastic conveyor belt (10) is designed to turn a tight radius in one direction only. Particularly it is designed for use as a spiral conveyor belt, the belt can turn in the opposite direction, but with a much larger radius. At the outer edge (30) of the belt, the link ends or knuckles are larger and heavier for increased strength in accepting tension at the outer edge of the belt. The outside knuckles (32,24) or link ends are not only wider than at the inside, but they also are longer, with increased material beyond the rod opening for increased tension strength. By having thinner link members (34) at the inner edge (12), the belt can collapse more closely at the inner edge than would be possible if the turn were in the other direction, providing a tighter radius of turn. This is useful in spiral conveyors which ordinarily turn in only one direction through the entire path of travel.

Selon l'invention, un transporteur à courroie modulaire en plastique est conçu de manière à présenter un rayon de giration étroit dans un sens seulement. En particulier, ledit transporteur est utilisé en tant que transporteur à courroie spiralé, la courroie pouvant tourner dans le sens opposé, tout en présentant un rayon beaucoup plus large. A l'autre extrémité de la courroie, les extrémités de liaison ou les joints d'articulation sont plus larges et plus lourds, ce qui permet le renforcement de la résistance à la tension exercée sur le bord extérieur de la courroie. Les joints d'articulation extérieurs ou les extrémités de liaison sont plus larges qu'à l'intérieur mais également plus longs, un matériau amélioré étant placé en-dessous de l'orifice de jonctionm, ce qui permet une résistance à la tension améliorée. Grâce à des éléments de liaison plus larges placés sur le bord intérieur, l'effondrement de la courroie est beacoup plus proche du bord intérieur, que lorsque le virage est dans l'autre sens, ce qui provoque un rayon de giration plus étroit. Cela est utile dans des transporteurs spiralés qui tournent généralement, dans un sens uniquement, dans la totalité de la trajectoire de circulation.
