It is a heavy-duty material handling system that uses connected metal, wooden, or plastic slats driven by chains to transport heavy loads.

Unlike flexible belt systems, a slat conveyor uses rigid plates mounted on heavy chains, allowing it to withstand extreme weights, high heat, and abrasive materials.

Yes, slat conveyors can easily handle inclined or declined routes when fitted with raised cleats, stops, or specialized fixtures.

Slats are typically constructed from stainless steel, carbon steel, heavy-duty plastics, or hardwoods depending on the specific application requirements.

Steel slat conveyors can withstand operating temperatures up to 200°C or higher, making them suitable for foundries and heat-treating processes.
