Abstract: Conveyor slats (14, 14?, 14?) are supported for longitudinal movement along support beams (12, 12?). The slats (14, 14?, 14?) are constructed from a structural plastic material and the support beams (12, 12?) are constructed from metal. The support beams (12, 12?) have a center portion in the form of an upwardly opening channel formed by side walls (22, 22? and 24, 24?) and a bottom wall (20, 20?). A top is formed by side parts (16, 16? and 18, 18?). Side parts (16, 16?) project laterally outwardly from the upper edges of the side walls (22, 22?). A top side part (18, 18?) projects laterally outwardly from the upper edges of the side walls (24, 24?). The conveyor slats (14, 14?, 14?) have a top wall (40, 40?, 40?), a pair of side walls (50, 50?, 50? and 52, 52?, 52?). Inwardly projecting flanges (54, 54?, 54? and 56, 56?, 56?) project laterally inwardly from the side walls (50, 50?, 50? and 52, 52?, 52?).
