Slat conveyors are heavy duty conveying systems designed to transport products that are unstable, irregularly shaped, or have bottom surfaces that are not suitable for rollers or belts. These conveyors use steel or wood slats mounted to continuous chains that travel within a rigid steel frame. The slats create a flat, supportive conveying surface that maintains product orientation and stability during movement.
Slat conveyors operate at controlled speeds and are commonly used in assembly and inspection environments where products must move steadily through multiple workstations. Chain driven construction allows the conveyor to carry substantial loads while maintaining precise product positioning. The open slat design also supports integration with fixtures, stops, and work platforms used in manual or semi automated processes.
These conveyors are frequently applied in industries where products are large, heavy, or difficult to convey using conventional methods. Their modular construction supports straight runs, accumulation zones, and integration with other conveying equipment while maintaining long term durability in industrial environments.
608SL | Heavy Duty Slat Conveyor
The 608SL heavy duty slat conveyor is engineered to move unstable, irregular shaped objects and products with problematic bottom surfaces that cannot be reliably conveyed on belts or rollers. Using wide formed steel slats mounted to a continuous chain, it provides a stable, flat conveying surface that supports steady product movement at a slow, controlled speed typical of assembly and inspection line operations.
