A conveyor module includes a plurality of first projections extending in a first direction. Each of the first projections include a hinge hole for receiving a first hinge pin. A plurality of second projections extends in a second direction substantially opposed to the first direction. Each of the second projections include a hinge hole for receiving a second hinge pin. A reinforcement bracket nests with at least a portion of one of the second projections. The reinforcement bracket includes a first hinge hole aligned with the hinge holes in each of the first projections for receiving the first hinge pin. The reinforcement bracket further includes a second hinge hole aligned with the hinge holes in the one of second projections for receiving the second hinge pin.

Modular conveyor mat

A conveyor belt (), comprising a number of plastic modules () successive in conveying direction () which are each provided at a front and rear side () with a row of projections () extending transversely to the conveying direction (), provided with hinge holes with recesses () located therebetween, the projections () cooperating with recesses () of adjoining modules, while hinge loops of successive modules () are coupled with the aid of hinge pins, extending through the hinge holes, transversely to the transport direction (), the hinge pins being included with clearance in oversize hinge holes of projections () at the front and/or the rear side (). At least two successive modules () are interconnected via an intermediate element () borne on a hinge pin (A) and bearing mounted so as to be pivotal relative to a pivot (A) substantially transverse to the hinge pin (A) in a bearing opening formed in one of the modules ().
