ABSTRACT:
An endless conveyor system is provided, particularly for poultry feeding systems, having a single strand wire core coated by a plastic material with integrally formed disks along the length of the wire to engage and transport fluidized or granular material. The disks have projections on their periphery to reduce sliding friction in the channel or trough of usage. A chain drive arrangement is provided to supply linear motive force to the conveyor by simultaneously engaging a plurality of the disks along the same line of travel. A feed input agitator is provided which is driven by conveyor motion. The conveyor can include a shear pin connection at the wire ends.
