A conveyor, particularly adapted to convey hot materials. The conveyor includes a belt made up of a network of interconnected elongated members forming a flexible mesh. This belt forms a tractive component of the conveyor. A material-holding means is connected to the belt to be moved thereby and this material-holding means forms a material-carrying component of the conveyor. The material-holding means includes a plurality of material-holding elements distributed longitudinally along the belt and having only limited engagement therewith so as to achieve a high degree of thermal separation between the material-holding means and the belt. A connecting means connects the elements of the material-holding means to the belt and this connecting means has only a highly localized area of engagement with the belt and elements so that the high degree of thermal separation between the material-holding means and belt is maintained. |
