A belt having a first cover layer with a first top surface and preferably also a second cover layer with a second top surface, wherein the first cover layer and, if present, the second cover layer are made of a foam having a thermoplastic or thermoplastic elastomer, in particular a TPU or PEBA. The belt is suitable e.g. as a machine tape in mail sorting machines and for power transmission.

Abrasion-resistant belt

A conveying apparatus comprises a modular conveying belt ( ), which is made up of a plurality of modules ( ), and a plurality of toothed drive wheels ( ). The modules ( ) have a module body ( ), two series of articulation-eyelet elements ( ), which project from opposite sides of the module body ( ) and each comprise an articulation eyelet ( ), and a transverse rib ( ) arranged on the underside of the module body ( ), transversely to the conveying direction. Two adjacent modules ( ) interengage and are articulated on one another by an articulation rod ( ). The toothed drive wheels ( ) have teeth ( ) which, during driving of the conveying belt ( ), are positioned against the transverse ribs ( ). The modules ( ) and the toothed drive wheels ( ) are designed and arranged such that, during driving of the conveying belt ( ), the teeth ( ) each engage between two adjacent articulation-eyelet elements ( ) of a module ( ), in order to form direct lateral guides for these two articulation-eyelet elements ( ).
