Benefits of chain conveyors

  • Built tough for heavy-duty use.
  • Adaptable to various configurations.
  • Ensures accurate material handling.
  • Handles heavy loads and high capacity efficiently.
  • Requires minimal upkeep.
  • Tailored to specific needs.
  • Offers extended service life.

Are chain conveyor systems right for my business?

Chain driven conveyor systems balance heavy duty construction and power with flexibility and adaptability. This is because they are able to move heavy loads, but can be easily integrated with other types of conveyors in a wider system.

This makes them ideal for:

Chain conveyor types

Chain conveyors come in a few different types, each with their own strengths. Explore the range of options below.

(6) TANGENGTIAL CHAIN CONV WITH STANDS
Roller Chain Conveyor

A roller chain conveyor utilises a series of interconnected rollers powered by chains to transport materials or products. Valued for durability and versatility, it’s suitable for heavy-duty applications.
(27) Plastic Chain Conveyor
Plastic Chain Conveyor

A plastic chain conveyor belt uses modular plastic chains to move items. Lightweight yet robust, these conveyors are ideal for applications requiring flexibility and are better for irregularly shaped materials.
(26) Slat Chain Conveyor
Slat Chain Conveyor

A slat chain conveyor features slats or plates linked together by chains to form a continuous surface. Designed for heavy-duty applications, they’re capable of handling larger, bulky items with ease.
(25) PALLET CHAIN CONVEYOR WITH STANDS
Pallet Chain Conveyor

Specifically designed for handling palletised loads, a pallet chain conveyor uses heavy-duty chains to transport pallets along the chains themselves. Featuring robust construction and high load-bearing capacity, they are commonly used in conjunction with forklifts and robotic palletisers for easy movement of large pallets.

Chain conveyor system manufacturing options

  • Powder Coated Mild Steel

    Reliable and cost-effective, our powder coated mild steel chain conveyors offer durability and versatility for various industrial applications.

  • Stainless Steel (304 and 316)

    Engineered for corrosion resistance, our stainless steel conveyors ensure optimal performance in washdown and pharmaceutical environments, and some food processing environments.

  • Galvanised Steel

    Robust and weather-resistant, our galvanised steel conveyors are ideal for outdoor and industrial settings, providing durability and longevity.

  • Aluminium

    Our aluminium conveyors are designed for lightweight applications, offering ease of handling and installation without compromising on strength.

Chain conveyor modular options

Customise your conveyor system even further with our modular options:

  • Construction
  • Dimensions
  • Materials
  • Automation
  • Speed Controls

Construction

 We offer a range of construction materials to better suit your needs, durability and suitability to your environment; such as mild steel (powder coated or galvanised), stainless steel, or aluminium profile construction.

Dimensions

We can modify your conveyor to almost any width or length. This includes pallet and crate dimensions for the frame, and both width and pitch options for the chains and rollers.

Materials

Choose from a variety of chain materials, including steel or plastic. You can also customise the material of the slats if you select a slat chain conveyor.

Automation

We can include fully or semi-automated controls for your system, with options for line control if you need it.

Speed Controls

Further customise your chain conveyor with variable speed controls, giving you precise control over your entire conveyor system.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS A CHAIN CONVEYOR?

A chain conveyor is a type of conveyor system that utilises chains to transport materials or products along a predetermined path. The chains can be made of metal or plastic, and can be used to move objects directly or power other conveyor types, such as rollers for example.
WHAT IS A CHAIN CONVEYOR USED FOR?

Chain conveyors are used for transporting a wide variety of items in various industries, including manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, and logistics. 

Commonly employed for handling heavy loads, bulk materials, pallets, containers, and other large or irregularly shaped items, chain conveyors are particularly suitable for applications where durability, reliability, and precise material handling are required. They are also a very price competitive solution for carton handling, especially when longer conveyors are required.
WHAT IS THE CAPACITY OF A CHAIN CONVEYOR?

The capacity of a chain conveyor can vary based on several factors, including the size and design of the conveyor, the speed at which it operates, and the characteristics of the material being conveyed. 

Since capacity is calculated as the amount of material the conveyor can move within a set timeframe, it depends on chain speed, the pitch of the chain and also material density. 

By analysing these specifications our engineers can determine the ideal capacity of a chain conveyor to ensure safe and reliable material handling, but it can vary between applications.
