(PROBLEM) To provide a seamless conveyor belt comprising knit fabric. (SOLUTION MEANS) A seamless conveyor belt employing monofilament made up of continuous fiber at filament constituting core yarn; being made up of weft-knit or warp-knit in which there is mutual intertwining of filament; flexural stress and heat causing monofilament at core yarn to undergo plastic deformation at locations of entanglement; being a seamless knit belt () comprising a knit pattern () which is weft-knit or warp-knit; being a knit pattern () in which pitch (Ps) of stitch loops in a width direction () is smaller than pitch (Pg) of stitch loops in a conveying direction () of the seamless knit belt; mutually contacting loops () and filament undergoing deformation; entangled regions of filament being maintained; fraying at side ends of the knit belt () during conveyance by the conveyor belt being prevented; spacing of pitch (Ps) of stitch loops in the width direction () being small; and strength being improved.

Conveyor belt and drive belt comprising knitted belt, and conveyor device using conveyor belt

A conveyor belt comprising knit fabric of high practicality, and an apparatus which uses such a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt includes weft knit fabric. Suction of air from below belt(s) is used to convey sheet-like and/or small thing(s) which are object(s) to be conveyed that are placed. The strength of filament(s) of knit fabric at side end(s) is adequately maintained. Loops exhibit mutual intertwining of filament(s) Pitch Ps of loops in width direction is formed so as to be smaller than pitch Pg of loops in conveying direction. Adjacent loops are mutually flattened and filament(s) of loop(s) are entangled, mutual intertwining of filament(s) causes knit fabric to have suppressed percentage elongation and increased strength in conveying direction, fraying of filament(s) at side end(s) of belt(s) is prevented, and strength is adequately increased.
