Slat Conveyors use slats or aprons mounted on the twin strands of drive chains as the carrying surfaces, ideal for applications like high temperature ovens, heavy-duty goods or other tough conditions. Slats are usually made of engineered plastic, galvanized carbon steel or stainless steel. Slat conveyors are a type of conveying technology that utilizes a chain-driven loop of slats to move product from one of its ends to another. The chain is driven by a motor, which causes it to cycle just as belt conveyors do.
