clear-view belt

Explanation:
this took some tracking down, byt yer 'tiz:

Patented “Clear-View” Belt
Harvested fruit is conveyed onto Pellenc’s patented clear-view belt, which allows loose berries and juice to flow directly onto the on-board sorting tables, whilst retaining whole bunches, leaves, petioles and other MOG.

Pellenc are the manufacturers of the "tapis à claire voie" in case you have any doubts!

slat conveyor

Explanation:
At least I assume it is indeed what you call a "slatted conveyor".

"Slat conveyor" is more common (and far from all of them are for conveying slats).
