Conveyor to transport rolls of membrane base of bitumen

A plant for manufacturing bituminous membrane rolls comprising:

• a roll forming station and a roll palletization station, said plant comprising a roll transporting conveyor designed to transport bituminous membrane rolls along a feeding direction between said roll forming station and said roll palletization station, said roll transporting conveyor comprises:
• a support frame provided with two side beams spaced from one another and parallel to said feeding direction,
• two driving belts arranged at the respective side beams,
• a plurality of crossbars extending in a bridge-like manner between the driving belts at preset distances along said feeding direction and having their opposite axial ends integral to the driving belts,
• a plurality of belt-shaped transport portions, each of which extends between two consecutive crossbars and is sized so as to form, between the two consecutive crossbars, a hammock-shaped transport cradle having an approximately semi-circular shape designed to contain a roll, and
• the hammock-shaped transport cradle comprises a transport sheet made of elastic material firmly connected to the two consecutive crossbars.
