Movable conveyor slats () have side parts () which rest on top parts () of bearings (). The bearings () have a generally U-shaped cross section and they fit on wings () which extend outwardly and slope upwardly from the sides of a fixed conveyor slat (). The movable slats () have web () and lower flange portions () which with the side parts () form laterally outwardly opening channels. The wings () and the bearings () are received within the channels ().

V-slat reciprocating slat conveyors

Movable conveyor slats () have side parts () which rest on top parts of bearings (). The bearings () have a generally U-shaped cross section and they fit on wings (') which extend outwardly and slope upwardly from the sides of a fixed conveyor slat (&#x2032;). Fixed conveyor slats (&#x2032;) have base portions (&#x2032;) and upper insert portions (&#x2032;). The inserts (&#x2032;) have downwardly extending ribs () on their sides which extend into upwardly opening grooves () in the base portions (). The movable slats () have web () and lower flange portions () which with the side parts () of the slats () form laterally outwardly opening channels. The wings (&#x2032;) and the bearings () are received within the channels ().

Slat conveyor with fixed and movable slats

Movable conveyor slats (') have side parts (&#x2032;) which rest on top parts () of bearings (). The bearings () have a generally U-shaped cross section and they fit on wings () which extend outwardly and upwardly from the sides of a fixed conveyor slat (). The movable slats (&#x2032;) have a web () and lower flange portions () which with the side parts () form laterally outwardly opening channels. The wings () and the bearings () are received within the channel spaces.

Reciprocating slat conveyor with moving slats between fixed slats

A reciprocating slat conveyor includes a plurality of side-by-side support beams () and conveyor slats () which fit onto the support beam (). The support beams () are constructed from metal. The conveyor slats () are constructed from plastic. In one embodiment (FIGS.-) the plastic slats () are snapped fit onto the support beams (). In some other embodiments (FIGS.and) the conveyor slats () are slid lengthwise onto the support beams ().
