A conveyor slat (CS) is formed by pultrusion (FIG. 1). It has a slat body comprising a resin matrix and reinforcement fibers (66) and/or fiber fabric (68). At least some of the fibers (66, 68) extend longitudinally of the slat body. Others extend transversely of the slat body. Surface veils are provided where the slats contact the bearings (34, 72, 74, 76) or are contacted by seals (136, 162). The conveyor slats (CS) can be made from a food grade resin. Grit (128) may be bonded to upper surfaces (124) of the conveyor slat (CS) to provide such upper surfaces with high friction characteristics.
