A slat conveyor is a mechanical device that uses a chain and slats to move objects from one place to another:
Works
Slat conveyors have endless chains with slats attached at a horizontal distance. The chains are driven by an electric motor, which causes the slats to move the objects.
Uses
Slat conveyors are used in many industrial applications, including factories, farms, warehouses, and freight handling. They are often used for heavy or dangerous items, or for products with sharp edges or irregular shapes that can't be used on rollers or belts.
Features
Slat conveyors can be made from metal or engineering plastic, and come in a variety of speeds and widths. They can have side railings to guide materials, and product fixtures can be installed on the slats to help hold the orientation of specific parts.
Applications
Slat conveyors are used in the assembly of products like kitchen appliances, furniture, lawn mowers, garden carts, water heaters, and air conditioners.
