Plastic Chain Conveyors
Plastic chain conveyors are designed for the transport of unit products along horizontal or inclined paths, including applications involving elevated product temperatures. The load-carrying surface consists of a metal or plastic plate belt formed by individual plates connected to one or two traction chains, ensuring stable and controlled product movement.
These conveyor systems are often complemented by gravity chutes or gravity descents. Such solutions are commonly used in canned food production lines, where they help simplify layouts and reduce the overall cost of the conveying system.
Application Areas
Plastic chain conveyors are widely applied in:
-
Bottling and beverage lines
-
Dairy processing facilities
-
Warehouse and intralogistics systems
-
Fruit and vegetable processing lines
-
Canned food production
-
Pharmaceutical manufacturing
Design and Operational Benefits
Plastic chain conveyors are valued for their robust construction and stable performance under continuous operation. The design allows reliable handling of products with varying sizes, weights, and surface properties while maintaining consistent flow.
Materials and components can be selected to meet hygienic and food-industry requirements, supporting effective cleaning and long service life in demanding production environments.
Plastic chain conveyors provide a dependable and cost-efficient solution for unit product transport across a wide range of food and industrial applications.
