Abstract
A conveyor installation comprises a framework having stationary guides with plastic contact surfaces. A conveyor belt is mounted for travel on the framework and includes plastic carriers mounted on plastic chain links. The carriers are supported for sliding contact with some of the guides which define vertical support rails. The carriers are connected to the links by socket and post connections with dowel pins extending therethrough. The conveyor belt carries plastic hold-down members which engage the stationary guides to prevent rising-up of the conveyor belt as the belt changes direction, the hold-down members being connected by socket/post connections. The carriers are of grid-like, air pervious construction and include U-shaped, downwardly curved projections at front and rear edges.
