The invention relates to a conveying system. The conveying system comprises a conveying track, an endless conveyor mat for conveying products in a conveying direction, a drive for driving the conveyor mat, and a return guide provided at the conveying track for guiding the conveyor mat upon circulation. The return guide extends substantially transversely to the conveying direction. The conveyor mat comprises a number of plastic modules, which are provided at their bottom side with a track guide surface, while at least a part of the plastic modules at the location of the respective track guide surface comprise at least one chamber extending inwardly with respect to the module for being in a contact with the return guide during circulation of the module around the return guide. The chamber is formed such that the contact upon circulation consists of a first line contact and a second line contact.
A conveying system, comprising:
Use of at least one chamber extending inwardly with respect to a plastic module provided at the location of a track guide surface situated at the bottom side of the plastic module for a modular conveyor mat of a conveying track, wherein the module is suitable for circulating around a return guide provided on the conveying track, in which the use takes place in a conveying system according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the inwardly extending chamber during circulation of the plastic module around the return guide is in contact with the return guide.
