Abstract

See full text

A slat conveyor comprises a plurality of transverse slat units interconnected by links at the sides of the conveyor to form an endless chain-like structure mounted on sprockets at the ends of the conveyor, the slat units being fitted with rollers which roll along endless tracks. Each slat unit comprises a thin elongated plate having the longitudinal margins bent through an angle in excess of 90.degree. to form an inverted channel-shaped slat member and two side plates secured one in each side of the slat member. Each side plate is fitted with two locating studs and an axle spindle. Each slat unit is connected to an adjacent slat unit by two of the links arranged one on each side of the conveyor, each link having two bores which receive the studs on the associated side of one slat unit as a close fit and a third bore which receives the axle shaft on the associated side of the adjacent slat unit as a rotational fit. The rollers are mounted on the axle shafts, and the links and rollers held in place by detachable pins on the axle spindles.
