1. A conveyor belt section including: a base; first and second spaced apart opposing side walls extending angularly from opposing sides of the base to form a channel, each said first and second spaced apart opposing side wall having an inner surface and an outer surface and extending from the base from an operative lower end to a free operative upper end; wherein the conveyor belt section is corrugated with at least two alternating peaks and troughs extending continuously from the free operative upper end of the first sidewall, via the operative lower end of the first sidewall, across the base, and via the operative lower end of the second sidewall to the free operative upper end of the second sidewall; wherein the inner and outer surfaces of the first and second sidewalls define said alternating peaks and troughs that extend continuously from the operative lower end to the free operative upper end of each side wall; wherein the corrugations are sinusoidal with alternating peaks and troughs spaced axially and equidistant along the conveyor belt section; and wherein the corrugations have a width of the alternating peaks at a midline of the corrugations being substantially equal to a width of the alternating troughs at the midline of the corrugations.
