ABSTRACT:
A plastic floor slat for use in a reciprocating slat conveyor includes a lower bearing and a side bearing integrated into the slat body. The lower bearing is positioned to contact an upper surface of a guide beam on which the slat is mounted to directly and slidably support the slat on the beam. This enables the elimination of a bearing as a separate component. The side bearings contact seals carried by adjacent floor slats. At least the upper surface portion of the top of the slat is reinforced for providing a highly wear resistant upper load bearing surface. Preferably, all the portions of the slat except the seal are co-extruded to integrally form the slat body.
