A guide bend segment () for a modular conveyor chain, comprising a profile from plastic material with a substantially flat upper side () extending along an axis proceeding in a curved manner with a guide face in which at least one guide is formed for guiding the modules of a modular conveyor chain, in which profile, adjacent the guide, magnets (A,B) are included for pulling body parts of successive modules () of the chain to be guided against the upper side through cooperation with hinge pins () of the modular conveyor chain, wherein the at least one guide comprises two grooves (A,B) proceeding in the longitudinal direction of the profile, so that the profile, adjacent the guide plane at the location of the guide has a substantially E-shaped cross section with a central projection () located between the grooves and legs located outside the grooves, on an inside bend side and an outside bend side of the projection, respectively, and that in the legs (A,B), magnets are included.

Curved segment of a guide for a modular conveyor chain and modular conveyor chain with such a curved guiding segment

A chain module () for a modular chain conveyor comprising a substantially sheet-shaped body part (), provided with a conveying surface () located at an upper side of the body part (), with hinge holes (AAB) included in the body part () and with two projections (A,B) provided at the underside () of the body part (), wherein sliding faces (A,B) located at the sides (A,B) facing each other of the projections (A,B), together with a sliding face () located between the projections (A,B) at the underside () of the body part (), form a guide with substantially U-shaped cross section. The projections (A,B) have been provided at a distance from sides () of the body part () and adjacent the projections (A,B) at the underside () of the body part (), sliding faces (A,B) are located, each forming, with sliding faces (A,B) located at sides (A,B) facing away from each other of the projections (A,B), a longitudinal guide with substantially L-shaped cross section.
