Abstract
A conveyor system having conveyor pieces connected together, without gaps, and links having projections engageable with sprockets connected in an endless manner to thereby constitute an endless conveyor. The arrangement permits powdery goods or fluid goods to be conveyed without falling or spilling from the link portions of the loading surface of the endless conveyor. A plurality of side protect fins are placed one on another without gaps on the sides of the endless conveyor in its width direction. This allows powdery goods or fluid goods to be conveyed without falling or spilling from the overlapping portions of the side protect fins at the sides of the loading surface.
