How can I make a wider conveyor?

I am working with a production line and the product I'm going to use is wider than the default one, so it doesn't fit in the standard straight conveyor. Is there any way to make a wider conveyor?

Each conveyor has a type where most of the conveyor's properties are stored. This lets you define the properties once and apply them to multiple conveyors. To edit the properties of a conveyor type click the ... button next to the Conveyor Type drop down in the conveyor's properties or Quick Properties. This will open the conveyor type properties where you'll find the width field.

The conveyor type properties can also be opened by double clicking on the type in the Toolbox.

However, if your conveyor is a custom type the visual tab will show up in the conveyor's properties window.
