Product Description
A Slat Chain Conveyor is a type of conveyor which uses slats assembled upon the twin strands of drive chains which function as the material moving surface. This type of conveyor is suitable for applications, such as for carrying heavy-duty goods, in high temperature ovens and other extreme conditions. Slats are typically made of stainless steel, or galvanized carbon steel for enhanced resistance to corrosion and rusting. It is equipped with sprockets and reduction gear attached to slats for carrying objects. Slat Chain Conveyor is a high performance conveyor that moves goods easily under testing conditions.
