ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system guide shoe for guiding a conveyor chain or belt from the catenary sag onto a return way, wherein the guide shoe has multiple and reversible wear surfaces, each of the wear surfaces extending the width of the guide shoe. The guide shoe is reversible so that either one of the multiple wear surfaces can be utilized. The guide shoe also has grooves into which the wear strips of the return way can be inserted end-wise. A square support hole is provided through the center of the guide shoe for supporting the guide shoe while preventing its rotation. Support pins are also provided to secure the wear strips within the grooves of the guide shoe.
