Chain Conveyors
Type of Chain Conveyor :
A) Accumulator Chain Conveyors
B) Extended Pitch Chain Conveyors
C) Powered Chain Roller Conveyors
D) K2 Chain Conveyors
A chain conveyor is a type of conveyor system for moving material through production lines
Chain conveyors utilize a powered continuous chain arrangement, carrying a series of single pendants
The chain arrangement is driven by a motor, and the material suspended on the pendants are conveyed
Chain conveyors are used for moving products down an assembly line and/or around a manufacturing or warehousing facility
Chain conveyors are primarily used to transport heavy unit loads, e.g. pallets, grid boxes, and industrial containers
These conveyors can be single or double chain strand in configuration
The load is positioned on the chains, the friction pulls the load forward
- Chain conveyors are generally easy to install and have very minimum maintenance for users
Many industry sectors use chain conveyor technology in their production lines
The automotive industry commonly uses chain conveyor systems to convey car parts through paint plants - Chain conveyors also have widespread use in the white and brown goods, metal finishing and distribution industries
Chain conveyors are also used in the painting and coating industry, this allows for easier paint application
The products are attached to an above head chain conveyor, keeping products off of the floor allows for higher productivity levels

Supplied complete with a full product warrantee for parts and labour.
Fabricated in Stainless Steel and mounted on a S/S framework making Garud Automation Slat Band Conveyors extremely hygienic enabling a complete wash down facility.
Specification :
Slats options include manufactured in heat resistant plastic (Acetal ) or Stainless Steel allowing them to be used for heat drying process applications giving long lasting dependable performance.
Supplied in fixed or variable speed drives with or without side guides.
Usually mounted on tripod style legs which can have an adjustable height facility.
Low friction of Slats make ideal systems for lablelling and packaging industry.
Frequently Asked Questions :
Am I able to use a slat conveyor with food products?
That is not a problem most of our slats are supplied to the food industry. The frame would need to be fabricated in Stainless Steel at a food grade quality.
I need a conveyor to go around a bend are slat conveyors able to do this?
Yes Slat Conveyors are able to go round corners rule of thumb is a chain can be turned round a center line of 610mm.
Is tracking necessary with a slat conveyor?
This type of conveyor does not need to be tracked.
Is it possible to go round a bend and an incline at the same time with a slat conveyor?
Flights can not be fitted to a radiuses chain but it is possible to fit rubber inserts that will elevate your product.

Would accumulation be possible on a slat conveyor?
The type of slat selected for your product is vital to achieve this. The materials can vary from low friction to extremely high grip. Please make sure you are advised by someone with this knowledge.
Is the speed of a slat conveyor variable?
This can be achieved by adding an VFD or a mechanical variator.
Is it possible to get close transfer with a slat conveyor?
This is done by using a side transfer with a 3mm gap.
Can a slat conveyor be used with flights to raise by my product up an incline?
This is not really the best type of conveyor for a incline please refer to our modular belt conveyors. A slight incline is achievable with no flights.
How easy is it to replace a slat chain?
Very easy it can be replaced in minutes.
Can raw food be placed on the slats?
Slats are available in stainless steel and plastic so yes it is possible to transport raw products on our slat conveyors.
