Maya - Animated Texture

sculptn

I am trying to create like an airport curved baggage conveyor using an animated texture to make it look like its moving. I thought this would be done by creating straight UVs then animate the UVs over a repeating static texture but the texture gets very distorted on the bends of the conveyor. How else could this be done I heard you can use an animated texture how could this be done ? Any help would be great.

Add more polygons to the turn, so the UVs distort less.
