Abstract: The present invention relates to a conveyor system (2) comprising a support frame (4) and an endless carrier chain (6) arranged horizontally thereon and defining an upper part (6a) and a lower part (6b); the carrier chain thereby having an inner side (12) and an outer side (14); wherein the support frame comprises a shielding element (24) in an area (A) defined between the inner side (12a) of the upper part of the carrier chain (6) and the inner side (12b) of the lower part of the carrier chain (6); wherein the shielding element (24) itself, or in combination with the first main support element (16) and/or the second main support element (18) having an extension that blocks a direct access between any point P1 located on the inner side (12a) of the upper part of the carrier chain (6) and a corresponding point P2 located on the inner side (12b) of the lower part of the carrier chain.

Abstract: A conveyor chain link a main body, a top plate to which a handling product or part thereof is restable thereupon; said main body having a front portion and a rear portion; said front portion and rear portion having means to be interconnected such that one link can be connectable to another in order for the establishment of a multi-linked conveyor chain; a first guide member arrangement including a pair of rotably-supported laterally extending on opposing sides of an underneath side of said top plate, adapted to roll in the direction of movement of said conveyor chain, wherein said rollers of the first guide member arrangement are adapted to rest and rotate along a corresponding top face of a wear strip as part of a conveyor assembly support structure for the conveyor chain; a second guide member arrangement, including two rotably-supportable guide members on opposing sides of said main body, rotably about a longitudinal axis, perpendicular to the top plate, wherein the peripheral edge of the respective guide
