Abstract: A chain conveyor comprising a conveyor belt having first and second lateral link chain and cross bars connecting the links of one chain to the corresponding links of the other chain. The conveyor belt is supported by the first and second lateral chains which slide along first and second longitudinal slide elements attached to the support structure of the conveyor. The first and second longitudinal slide elements are arranged below respective lateral chains of the belt and each has a flat surface of longitudinal sliding for the lower edges of the vertical links of the belt so as to allow the links to perform also transverse movements. First and second lateral support elements are also provided, each of which can be engaged by a facing engaging surface of the conveyor belt and is arranged distanced from the respective engaging surface of the belt in such a way as to allow the longitudinally sliding conveyor belt to perform also transverse movements. |
