Abstract
The invention relates to conveyor belts, which have a laminate consisting of: i) a textile ply (1) with a first ply surface (11) and with a second ply surface (12); ii) a first synthetic material ply (2), which adheres to the first ply surface (11), is made of a thermoplastic material having a creep resistance vk of no greater than 0.005 at 30° C., and which contains at least 70% by weight of a thermoplastic having a creep resistance vk of no greater than 0.005 at 30° C.; and iii) a second synthetic material ply (3), which adheres to the second ply surface (12), is made of a thermoplastic material having a creep resistance vk of no greater than 0.005 at 30° C., and which contains at least 70% by weight of a thermoplastic having a creep resistance vk of no greater than 0.005 at 30° C., with the provision that the quotient rv of formula (I):
wherein VB represents the surface volume of the laminate, ρT represents the density, and GT represents the weight per unit area of the textile ply (1), results in a value ranging from 5 to 25. These conveyor belts can be joined to form endless conveyor belts via butt end connections.
