Abstract
A stabilized and guided conveyor belt () includes multiple transport chains () and interchangeable conveyor plates () that form the surface of the conveyor belt (). The conveyor plates () can be easily attached independently of one another in a side by side fashion onto the transport chains () and are readily detachable from the transport chains () to facilitate replacement or rearrangement. Certain of the plates () function selectively as a platform on which to mount accessories such as lug members () and include means for receiving () accessories and for locking () accessories into place. The conveyor belt () is guided and supported by a smooth rail (). Both the plate () and the rail () include interacting stabilizing features () that cooperate to prevent buckling and rippling of the transport chain ().
