Abstract
A high temperature-resistant, open-mesh fabric conveyor belt for conveying graphic arts printed or coated material over a vacuum bed and through a high temperature oven is described. A V-belt is secured to the open-mesh fabric to center and guide the belt wherein the V-belt is guided by suitable guide slots in suitable guide members which require no adjustments for guiding. The V-belt is vulcanized to a strip of cotton tape, and the strip is, in turn, sewn to the open-mesh belt by a high temperature-resistant thread. In one embodiment, a single V-belt is centrally located on the belt. In a second embodiment, two V-belts are located adjacent to the respective opposite edges of the belt. In a narrow conveyor belt, a single V-belt can be provided at one edge of the conveyor belt.
