Some companies have specific needs in terms of conveyors, and thus need to install appropriate conveyor solutions in their warehouses to respond to the logistical challenges they face. Companies working in the bottling sector, for example, have to deal with very demanding logistical constraints in the handling of their products. To guarantee optimum safe transport for their products, they need an industrial handling system suited to their needs.
With a belt structure ideal for carrying bottles, or in general any products accumulated in the production chain, slat band chain conveyors are conveying systems used in many activity sectors.
Why choose a slat band chain conveyor?
Slat band chain conveyors are used to transport liquid containers, cardboard boxes, mechanical parts, food containers and even packaged products.
Installing these conveyors makes it possible to accumulate products, incorporating changes of track or multi-lane accumulation tables.
The advantages of a slat band chain conveyor are its more robust mechanical strength and the stainless steel slat band designed for products to slide more easily.
As well as these benefits, slat band chain conveyors can be designed longer than normal belt or modular belt conveyors, reaching lengths of 10 or even 20 metres. These conveyors are appropriate for products that occupy more vertical space, and are well-suited to bottling product formats.
Slat band chain conveyors can carry a variety of loads in multiple directions depending on the warehouse configuration. With this versatility making them suitable for any logistical constraints, slat band chain conveyors can carry loads horizontally, up or down slopes or around curves to detour around obstacles or other conveyor systems within the warehouse.
Benne SA, an expert in the design of slat band chain conveyors
Benne SA offers you all its expertise in producing conveyor solutions tailored to the specific needs of your activity, including its different models of slat band chain conveyors. Designed and produced in acetal, steel or stainless steel, our slat band chain conveyors are available in two distinct and complementary models:
- Straight slat band chain conveyor
- Curved slat band chain conveyor
Mainly used in the bottling and conserving sectors, the straight slat band chain conveyor can carry loads in straight lines over varying distances depending on the constraints of your production space.
This system is ideally suited to the packaging sector, but for process lines we recommend another conveyor with different characteristics.
Thanks to its many possible configurations in terms of angles and elevations, our curved slat band chain conveyor adapts perfectly to the layout of your warehouse for effective, secure transport.
All the slat band chain conveyors we offer can be equipped with specific options to meet your needs:
- High-grip or slippery coating for accumulating products (multiple varieties of materials, widths and accessories).
- Flexible “hook chain” strip for lifting your products vertically
