Abstract: A bend segment for a chain conveyor, including a chain movable over a track including one or more bends. The chain is composed of interconnected links of magnetizable material having a substantially rectangular load bearing surface. The bend segment is an integral element, U-shaped in cross-section, with an under surface formed with elongate pockets, extending into the legs of the element and extending in the longitudinal direction of the bend segment. The pockets are arranged to receive magnets provided to keep the chain flat in a bend of the track.
