SpanTech chain conveyor
This type of conveyor allows you to move heavy loads like pallets that cannot be transported on a roller conveyor. In order to transport smaller or less rigid products, it is necessary to add chains to the conveyor. There are conveyors with two, three, four or even five or more chains.
Chain conveyors are characterized by the number and material of the chains used (steel, stainless steel, plastic), as well as the robustness of their load-bearing frame, which is often mechanically welded (more suitable for heavy loads).
Unlike belt conveyors and roller conveyors, chain conveyors can be overhead: these are described in the next paragraph.
