1. A slide plate of a conveyor slide that has a housing enclosing a channel that extends in a conveying direction and that is configured to convey Geldart group C materials in the conveying direction, wherein:
the slide plate of said conveyor slide is dimensioned to be placed in the housing to separate at least a segment of the channel into an upper channel and a lower channel,
the slide plate having a longitudinal axis in the conveying direction, an up-facing surface facing the upper channel and configured to support the Geldart group C material, a downward-facing surface facing the lower channel, a front-end surface facing in the conveying direction, and a rear-end surface opposite the front-end surface,
the slide plate is made of a ceramic refractory and has through holes establishing fluid communication between fluid inlets of said through holes in the lower surface and fluid outlets of said through holes in the up-facing surface,
and
a fluid outlet of at least one of the through holes is closer to the front-end surface than a fluid inlet of said at least one of the through holes to generate, with a gas flow passing said through holes, a momentum in the conveying direction.
