Abstract

A screen conveyor belt for farming equipment has a plurality of flat belt members having a longitudinal extension in the direction of travel of the screen conveyor belt and being arranged parallel to one another. Rod members extend perpendicular to the direction of travel and are spaced from one another in the direction of travel so as to form therebetween openings of the screen conveyor belt. The rod members have a first and a second flat end section and a central operative portion located between the first and second flat end sections. The first and second flat end sections of each one of the rod members are positioned on adjacent ones of the belt members, respectively. Fasteners for connecting the flat end sections to the flat belt members are provided and the fasteners penetrate the flat end sections. A thickness of the flat end sections is greater adjacent to the central operative portion than at the free end of the flat end sections.
