1. A curve conveyor, comprising a guiding track extending along a circular arc, which guides a conveying part of an endless conveyor, the conveying part comprising a plurality of chain strands which with a common center of curvature are spaced apart at an equal radial pitch, and a drive cooperating with the chain strands, which during operation leads the chain strands at a mutually equal angular speed through the guiding track, wherein the chain strands are each built up from a singular series of successive conveyor modules which are each provided at their top with a substantially flat top surface, and wherein the radial pitch between the chain strands substantially corresponds to the radial width of the conveyor modules so that sides of the conveyor modules enclose a narrow gap between adjoining sides of the conveyor modules and the top surfaces in the conveying part form a substantially uninterrupted conveying surface, wherein the chain strands are each located at a distance from the center of curvature that corresponds to an integer multiple of the pitch between the chain strands.
