Abstract
A modular conveyor belt constructed of modules having upstanding ribs, each in the form of textured upper ridge structure atop an elongated rib base. Consecutive ribs are spaced apart laterally on the top surface of the modules. Longitudinal slots between laterally consecutively ribs admit the fingers of transfer plates for smooth transfer of articles on and off the belt. The textured rib structure includes rows of teeth, truncated pyramids or cones, corrugated structure, and sinuous beads atop which articles are supported with little slipping in wet conditions.
