Belt band conveyor

A belt band conveyor has an endless conveyor belt band guided over deflection and/or drive friction rollers, for deflecting and/or driving the conveyor belt band. Each roller includes an axially-extending shaft. At least three roller segments are releasably mounted on the shaft, axially apart from one another, so as to rotate about a rotational axis extending axially in the longitudinal direction, Each roller segment has an inside circumference contour and a friction surface on its radial outside circumference engaging on the lower belt with friction fit. The inside circumference contour of each roller segment and the outside circumference contour of the shaft are structured so that each roller segment is connected with the shaft with shape fit to prevent twisting about the rotational axis. When the shaft turns about the rotational axis, in a rotational direction, the roller segments also turn about the rotational axis, in this rotational direction.
