Abstract
A conveyor belt assembly includes an elastomer sheet, transversely spaced apart, longitudinally extending cords, and longitudinally spaced apart, transversely extending reinforcing blocks. The sheet has a top cover, and a bottom cover, and defines mutually longitudinal and transverse directions in the plane of the sheet. The cords and the blocks are embedded in the sheet between the top cover and the bottom cover. Each block encapsulates each of the cords in a transverse cross-section of the block. A method for making the conveyor belt assembly includes placing separate first and second portions of each block in abutting relationship with each other and around the cord, placing an uncured elastomer for forming the sheet around the cords and the block, and curing the elastomer for forming the sheet to form the sheet.
