Abstract
A bend segment for a chain conveyor having a substantially U-shaped plastics element. The legs (2,3) of the U-shaped element form the rails over which the chain can move. The chain contains links (4) each having a substantially rectangular bearing surface and a connection system (5,6) located below the bearing surface. The successive links are pivotally coupled to each other through the connection systems. The links are composed of at least partly of a magnetizable material. Permanent magnets (8',8') are arranged at least in the connecting portion (12) between the legs of the U-shaped element. The permanent magnets (8) are arranged in chambers, closed at the top, formed in the bottom surface (1) of the U-shaped plastics element. The chambers and the magnets (8) extend in the bottom on opposite sides of the connecting portion over a substantial part of the width of the legs (2,3) of the U-shaped element.
