Product Description

The Flat Top Chain Conveyor uses standard top plate chains as the carrying surface, driven by a geared motor running along dedicated guide rails. Depending on process requirements, different chain configurations can be selected to achieve straight-line conveying, curved turning, and inclined/declined transport. Chain materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, or thermoplastic chains to suit a wide range of operating conditions.
