Categories Related to Slat Conveyors
A slat conveyor is a conveyor that transports objects by continuously attaching slats to the attachments of the conveyor chain on both sides, loading the objects to be transported on these slats, and moving the conveyor chain forward.
The difference between this type of conveyor chain and other types of conveyor chains is the difference in what is attached to the conveyor chain attachments.
An example of this difference is that an apron conveyor attaches an apron, whereas a slat conveyor attaches slats.
Slat conveyors are mainly used in factories and parcel delivery centers to continuously transport objects to their intended destinations.
Since there is a gap between the slats, and smaller objects will fall through the gap, the objects to be conveyed should be box-shaped or bag-shaped objects of a certain size. object to be transported.
Compared to steel plates, the rate of damage to the object being conveyed is less.
The roller slat can be used as a conveyor that performs an accumulation function, which means that the material to be conveyed can be temporarily stored for later processing.
Slat conveyors are most suitable for work and assembly lines and are extremely durable, as the slats can be replaced one by one.
Also, by attaching cleats to the slats, the conveyor can be used not only for flat conveying but also for conveying at a steep incline.
Although a slat conveyor is a type of chain conveyor, its conveying speed is slow.
Since a normal conveyor chain is run on rails, increasing the speed causes wear and tear on the conveyor chain, resulting in more frequent replacement.
Compared to belt conveyors, slat conveyors are stronger and more durable because the slat surface to be conveyed is made of steel or wood.
Slat conveyors are suitable for conveyors that are subject to high impact due to weight or other factors when objects are loaded onto the conveyor, or when the belt is easily damaged by objects to be conveyed.
The disadvantage of the slat conveyor is that it is slower and requires a wider conveyor width to achieve the same conveying capacity, resulting in a higher price.
In addition, daily maintenance is important because the conveyor is expected to be used in a relatively harsh environment.
