SS Slat Chain Conveyor

SS Slat Chain Conveyor

Introduction

Stainless Steel Slat Chain Conveyors consist of interlinked stainless slats mounted on dual-strand roller chains, ideal for clean, hygienic, and low-maintenance transport of containers, trays, jars, and more. Constructed entirely of SS 304/316, they offer corrosion resistance, durability, and suitability for complex layouts including straight, curved, and dual-/triple-track configurations.
