Abstract
A conveyor having an endless conveyor belt made from a plurality of hingedly connected modular belt modules limited by two longitudinal sides. Each module comprises one or more upper parts and a lower part each pivotably connectable to a forwardly arranged belt module. One or more upper parts are provided with means projecting below the lower part at least when the one or more upper parts are in the same plane as the lower part. A feeding station is arranged on the conveyor's substructure and includes two side walls arranged parallel to a travelling direction of the conveyor belt and substantially orthogonal to the plane of the conveyor belt's surface. An end wall spans between the two walls leaving a gap between the upper surface of the conveyor belt and the lower edge of the end wall.
