Abstract

A device for transporting materials along supporting rollers including a conveyor belt extending in a longitudinal direction. The device has two spaced longitudinal edges and a tensile fabric layer embedded within the conveyor belt made of a textile, a cord fabric or a synthetic cord fabric. The supports extend in the longitudinal direction, and the conveyor belt is adapted for being rolled into a tubular belt, wherein the two longitudinal edges overlap each other and are supported by the supporting rollers. Stiff textile reinforcements are embedded within the conveyor belt on a side of the fabric layer facing the support rollers. The textile reinforcements are oriented transverse to the longitudinal direction.
