Chareyre proposed the following answer:
For the immobile moving plane (!), you may try this trick:

O.engines=[
   ...
   assignVelocityToThePlaneSomehow(v=beltSpeed),
   InteractionLoop(...),
   assignVelocityToThePlaneSomehow(v=0),
   NewtonLaw(),
]

That way, interactions will be computed as if the plane was moving, but motion integration will see it has a body with null velocity.
Assigning velocity can be done with a simple PeriodicEngine.

If you try this and make it work, please let us know. We could include
it as an example script as it can be usefull for other users.
