Slat conveyors are a type of material handling equipment that use a series of slats or plates to transport goods and products along a conveyor system. They are commonly used in industries such as packaging, assembly, and food processing to move materials such as boxes, cartons, and containers.
Slat conveyors consist of a flat, horizontal surface made up of a series of slats or plates that are attached to a chain or belt. The slats or plates are designed to be rigid and durable, and can be customized to have different shapes and sizes depending on the application requirements.
Slat conveyors can be configured in various ways to suit different applications. They can be designed to operate in a straight line or a curved path, and can be equipped with different types of drives, such as chain or belt, depending on the application requirements. They can also be customized with different types of side rails and supports to accommodate different product sizes and shapes.
Slat conveyors offer several advantages over other types of material handling equipment. They are ideal for handling heavy loads and products with irregular shapes or sizes, as the rigid slats provide a stable surface for transportation. They are also well-suited for applications that require precise control over the material flow, as the slats can be configured to stop and start the material as needed.
