Product details

A slat conveyor is a type of industrial conveyor system designed to move heavy or oddly shaped items across a production line using a series of flat slats attached to a chain. 🛠️ Key Features • Slats: Made from metal, wood, or plastic, these flat panels are mounted on chains to form a continuous moving surface. • Chain Drive: The slats are driven by a motorized chain system, ensuring consistent movement. • Customizable: Width, length, and slat spacing can be tailored to specific applications. 🏭 Common Uses • Assembly Lines: Ideal for automotive, machinery, and appliance manufacturing. • Packaging Units: Used to transport boxes, bottles, and cartons. • High-Temperature Environments: Suitable for moving hot or heavy items that belts can't handle. ✅ Advantages • Stable surface for transporting items • Can support fixtures for robotic or manual assembly • Works well in harsh or high-load conditions • Allows for precise positioning and indexing 🚫 Limitations • Not suitable for curved paths • Doesn’t allow product accumulation (items can't bunch up) • Less flexible than roller or overhead conveyors for changing product types If you're curious about how these systems are used in specific industries or want help designing one, please send your enquiry on advanceequipments@hotmail.com
