Slat Conveyors (sometimes called Table-top chain conveyors)

Typical Industries: General purpose heavy duty, but particularly useful where bends and loops are required.



Description: Slat conveyors are similar to Plate Link conveyors, in that they resemble a tanks caterpillar-tracks. However, the platelets of a Slat conveyor allow the belt to 'flex', and hence turn corners and loops.

Whillst Slat conveyors are often associated with metal platelets, they can also be made of plastic or composite platelets, which are often favoured by the food industry, or where strong magnetic fields are present.
