Chain conveyor

slat chaincurvedaccumulation

Overview
Robotunits' slat top conveyors are designed for flexible integration into complex layouts and for covering long distances with a single drive. Engineered for continuous industrial and logistics use, they provide reliable, low‑maintenance conveying with very tight curve capability and smooth product transfer.

Application example
Suitable for packaging, logistics, food processing, waste management and automotive production. Configurable for conveying, accumulation or indexed/timed transfer and easy to integrate into production and intralogistics lines.

Facts

• Compact conveyor design with very tight curve radii
• Long runs achievable with a single drive unit
• Return pulley flush with the frame profile for smooth chain guidance

Benefits

• Adaptable to available space and material flow requirements
• Energy‑efficient operation
• Smooth and reliable product transfer between lines or stations

Technical data (table)
Frame width: 87 mm, 124 mm, 195 mm

Min. curve radius: chain width 82.6 mm = 200 mm, chain width 114.3 mm = 200 mm, chain width 190.5 mm = 610 mm
Speed: 5 m/min to 30 m/min
Max. conveyor length: approx. 15,000 mm *
Max. conveyor load: approx. 150 kg *
* depending on the conveyor layout

Design & Drive options

• Special extrusion profile with mounting options for sensors, side guides and supports
• Drive: 230/400 V motor; chain sag/tensioning system for optimal slat chain tension
• Pulley: special pulley designed for slat chain, flush with the frame

Characteristics / technical specifications

• Three frame widths to match weight, speed and layout requirements (87 / 124 / 195 mm)
• Multiple chain widths allowing very small curve radii for compact layouts
• Possibility to cover complex paths with curves and long distances on a single drive
• Low maintenance design with individually replaceable chain links
• Integration options for sensors, side guides and mounting structure
• Drive voltage: 230/400 V
• Return pulley flush with frame; chain tensioning mechanics for optimal chain performance
• Indicative max. length: approx. 15,000 mm (layout dependent)
• Indicative max. load: approx. 150 kg (layout dependent)
