This type of conveyor is commonly used in the beverage and tissue industries for transporting cans, PET bottles, glass bottles, containers, rolls of paper, tissues, and similar products.

As one of the earliest chain designs introduced to the market, slat chain conveyors can still be found in various other sectors, although their use has gradually declined over time.

These conveyors are installed in many areas along production lines, ranging from depalletizing loose products to secondary packaging zones. The slat chains are available in a range of plastic materials such as acetal resin, polypropylene, polyester, Delrin Kevlar, high-temperature resistant materials, as well as stainless steel.

The choice of material depends on the specific application. The key strengths of these conveyors are their durability and simplicity.

They can be built with frames in painted steel or stainless steel, depending on the requirements of the application.
