Chain Conveyor 

What is a Chain Conveyor?

A chain conveyor is a type of conveyor system that utilizes a belt made of interconnected chain links. These conveyors are robust and durable, designed for transporting products along a production line.

Functions of a Chain Conveyor

• Transport Heavy Products: Efficiently moves heavy products from one location to another with durability and simplicity.

• High-Temperature Resistance: Ideal for moving products through high-temperature zones, such as foundries, where other conveyor types may be unsuitable.

• Continuous Operation: Enables the continuous transport of goods.

• Variable Speeds: Suitable for operations requiring adjustable speeds.

Applications of Chain Conveyors

• Suitable for items that are not typically conveyed on roller conveyors.

• Commonly used for transporting pallets, racks, industrial containers, and any product with a sturdy underside.

• Widely applied in industrial and commercial environments, including warehouses, automotive factories, and distribution centers.

HNT is one of the leading manufacturers of chain conveyors, offering custom designs and fabrication tailored to specific requirements.
