In general, "conveyor chain" is like ordinary roller drive chain, but with double pitch between pins/rollers of otherwise the same size. A related version is called "log chain," which is typically a large size. Such chain can be lubricated with a brush-on oiler, or by an automated greasing system. You can find more info at the Websites of such manufacturers as Morse, Martin, Dodge, Tsubaki, etc.
