An article transport conveyor (10), particularly for the food and beverage processing industry, includes interconnected conveyor frame sections (32, 34, 36) having two longitudinal beams (40) spaced apart from each other and connected by plural transverse angle or channel-shaped beams (42). The transverse beams (42) are mounted above the longitudinal beams (40) and support longitudinal parallel guide and support rails (74) for one or more endless conveyor flights. The transverse beams also support upstanding brackets (88) for parallel longitudinal guide rails for guiding articles being conveyed by the conveyor flights (20, 22) and spaced apart depending brackets for supporting return runs of the conveyor flights on return run support rollers. The frame sections are supported by spaced apart tubular column members (46) which are connected to the frame sections at respective adjacent ends thereof by connectors (44) having opposed arms interconnected by a web or opposed flanges which may be secured by threaded fasteners to the beam and column members of each section. The frame is mechanically uncomplicated and permits easy assembly and disassembly and access for cleaning and replacement or repair of conveyor chain links, the guide and support rails, and the return run rollers.
