Slat Chain / Hinged Chains

Slat chain conveyors are another type of chain conveyor which uses many types of interleaving segments to form a slat type chain of either synthetic polymer or stainless steel construction, in either low friction or friction grip styles. They are used in high wear areas often handling individual packets or cans in can filling or bottling operations. They are also used extensively in food manufacturing applications. Heavy versions of the slat conveyors are often found in freight handling applications where loads and impact are quite high. Traditionally heavy slat conveyors are constructed using hardwood slats fixed onto parallel chains.

Hinge Belt conveyor finds application in stamping/ sheet metal press shops to handle scrap at a moderate capacity. The conveyor frame can be open type made from heavy structural steel sections or closed type made from heavy gauge steel plates. Modular construction of the conveyor makes it possible to add or remove conveyor segments at a later date depending on requirement.
