The wooden slats can be adhesively secured directly to the belt or can be adhesively secured to a strip of uncured rubber, and the uncured rubber strip can be cured together with the rubber of the conveyor belt material to adhesively secure the slat to the belt material. Additionally, rivets or other mechanical means can be used to secure the wooden slat to the belt material. A method for applying a plurality of slats to the belt material and coiling the end product is described.
