The present invention is a conveyor device for food transport having a plurality of rod-shaped members (60) that form a conveyor belt, couplers (62) that couple the rod-shaped members (60), a guide rail (82) that supports the conveyor belt, and sprockets (48, 50) that mesh with toothed portions (72d) formed on the couplers (62), wherein: a coupler (62) is configured by a metal insert material (64) and an abrasion resistance resin body (72) with the metal insert material (64) built in, has a bent shape having an internal space (s) with both ends thereof joined to a first rod-shaped member (60), and has a pair of elongated holes (74a:66a, 74b:66b) into which a second rod-shaped member (60) adjacent to the first rod-shaped member (6) is loosely fit; the abrasion resistance resin body (72) comprises the toothed portion (72d) and sliding faces (78a, 78b) that slide on the guide rail (82); and the sprocket (48, 50) toothed portion is made of an abrasion resistance resin. By virtue of this configuration, abrasion and increase of the surface pressure on the sliding contact portions of the conveyor belt and guide rail can be prevented even in low temperature environments. |
