A slat chain conveyor is a type of conveyor system that uses a chain made of flat, interlocking slats or plates to move objects along a path. The slats are typically made of plastic or metal and are linked together to form a continuous chain that can be powered by an electric motor. Slat chain conveyors are often used for heavy-duty applications where a standard belt conveyor may not be suitable due to weight, size, or shape of the product being transported. They are also ideal for conveying hot or sharp objects that could damage a belt conveyor. Some common applications of slat chain conveyors include transporting bottles or cans in the beverage industry, moving automotive components through an assembly line, and conveying heavy loads in the construction or mining industry.
