A link belt is provided wherein the link belt is formed of a plurality of links forming a series of links in successive overlapping relation. The link belt includes a first end having a first connector and a second end having a second connector so that the first connector is connected with the second connector to form a continuous loop of link belt. The link belt is formed by applying a lateral force against the assembled link belt while the link belt is under an axial tension to stretch the belt. After the step of stretching the belt, the first connector is connected with the second connector to form a continuous belt.

Link belt and method for producing same

A detachable tab for a modular belt link is provided. The detachable tab has upper and lower body portions. The upper body portion is suitable to be arranged in a modular conveyor belt module, and comprises a U-shaped section with two substantially parallel flanges that extend from a bridge member. Each flange has a distal end that terminates the flange away from the flange's connection to the bridge member. Each flange also has an inner side surface that faces the other flange and an outer side surface that faces away from the flanges. The lower body portion comprises three distinct sections: a first section that connects a second section to the bridge member of the upper body portion; a second section that projects in a direction opposite and parallel to the flanges of the upper body portion; and a third section that is arranged substantially perpendicular to the second section.
