  • Internally stabilized slide conveyor
    Patent number: 4927006

A laterally extending plastic stabilizer is connected to the chain and is received in a slot at the sides of the channel. The channel is constructed with steel sides and overhead lip and with a plastic bottom wall, such that the chain and stabilizer operate with dissimilar materials in contact at substantially all times.
