A high-temperature, conveyer-type furnace includes a selectively flexible-inflexible conveyer belt for transporting articles through the furnace. The belt, which is preferably made of ceramic, includes a plurality of longitudinally-extending, pivotally-interconnected links and a locking mechanism for locking the links into a relatively inflexible mode when the belt is subjected to longitudinal compression so that the belt can be pushed through the furnace.
