Slat Conveyors
Heavy-Duty Conveyor for Rugged Industrial Applications
A Slat Conveyor is a powerful and reliable material-handling system designed for transporting heavy, hot, sharp, oily, or abrasive products that cannot be moved on belts or rollers. It uses a series of interlinked slats—made from steel, stainless steel, or engineered polymers—mounted on robust chains. This structure provides exceptional strength, stable movement, and high load-carrying capacity, making slat conveyors ideal for demanding industrial environments.
Packveyor’s slat conveyors are engineered for continuous 24×7 operation and are widely used in manufacturing, assembly processes, machine integration, automotive production, and harsh industrial conditions where durability and precision are essential.
Slat Conveyors:
Build Quality
Packveyor Slat Conveyors are built to withstand the toughest shop-floor conditions. Each conveyor uses high-strength steel or SS slats that remain stable under heavy loads and resist impacts from sharp or irregular items. These slats are linked through industrial-grade chains designed for high torque and long life. The conveyor frame is constructed from rigid MS powder-coated or SS304 materials, offering corrosion resistance and structural stability. Low-friction wear strips support the slats during travel, reducing noise and energy consumption. Heavy-duty bearings, sprockets, and drive shafts work together to ensure smooth, vibration-free conveying, even in continuous industrial use.
Industrial Applications
Slat conveyors are preferred in industries that require robust handling of heavy or irregular products. They are widely used in automotive manufacturing for engine components, gearboxes, and chassis movement. In assembly lines, they support manual workstations, robotic automation, and process integration. The conveyors are also used in metal fabrication, forging units, machine shops, casting operations, FMCG production, and packaging units handling hot or wet materials. Their ability to resist impacts, oils, chemicals, and high temperatures makes slat conveyors suitable for harsh manufacturing environments where other conveyor types fail.
Safety Features
Safety is a core aspect of Packveyor’s slat conveyor design. Covered chains and enclosed drive mechanisms prevent accidental contact during operation. Side guards and guide rails keep products stable and prevent slippage. Overload and thermal protection safeguards the motor from excessive load or overheating. The anti-skid slat surface supports stable movement of products during inclines or workstations. Controlled chain engagement reduces noise and ensures smooth start-stop motion. Each conveyor is designed to minimize pinch points and support safe working conditions for operators.
Installation & Setup Process
The installation of a slat conveyor is carried out with engineered precision to ensure reliable long-term performance. The process begins with the alignment and leveling of the conveyor frame, followed by precise mounting of chain guides and slat link assemblies. Drive and tail-end sprockets are installed to match the chain pitch and maintain uniform movement. Once the slats and chains are tensioned correctly, the motor, gearbox, and coupling system are assembled and tested. The conveyor undergoes a rotation check, lubrication setup, and chain alignment inspection. A full load test with controlled speed verifies stability, noise levels, and operational accuracy, ensuring trouble-free performance.
Benefits of Choosing Packveyor Slat Conveyors
Packveyor slat conveyors deliver exceptional strength and durability, making them the ideal solution for heavy-duty and continuous industrial applications. Their rigid slats handle products that are too heavy, hot, or sharp for belts or rollers. The conveyors are easy to maintain, with individual slats and chain segments replaceable without dismantling the entire system. They support high load capacity, stable movement, and smooth integration with machines, workstations, and automation systems. With custom dimensions, layout flexibility, and long-life components, Packveyor slat conveyors help industries reduce downtime, improve workflow efficiency, and achieve consistent material handling performance.
