Slat Top Conveyors

A slat top conveyor is suitable for the continuous transport of general cargo over long distances involving multiple curves, inclines, or complex route layouts.

The slat top conveyor is designed for dimensionally stable unit loads that can be transported on a solid support surface. Typical applications include the packaging industry, logistics, the food industry, waste management, and the automotive industry.

While belt conveyors are designed for straight sections and modular belt conveyors for harsh operating conditions, the slat top conveyor is the right choice for challenging route layouts with multiple curves, tight radii, and inclines. Thanks to its deflection mechanism, which is flush with the frame profile, the slat top conveyor features a particularly compact design.

The slat top conveyor from Robotunits can handle loads of up to 150 kg and conveyor lengths of up to approximately 15 m, although both values depend on the specific conveyor layout.

The chain widths of 82.6 mm and 114.3 mm allow for very tight turning radii starting at 200 mm, which significantly simplifies adaptation to existing spaces and tight route layouts. The widest chain width (190.5 mm) offers a minimum curve radius of 400 mm. This is a decisive advantage over other conveying technologies, especially in confined spaces in production or intralogistics.

Yes, the slat top conveyor from Robotunits is suitable for transporting goods to different levels. Online configuration is not currently available. If needed, your personal contact will be happy to review your specific application.

Inclines can be integrated into the conveyor layout, allowing goods to be transported from one level to the next without the need for an additional lifting unit.

Yes, the slat top conveyor from Robotunits is fully suitable for synchronized operation. In synchronized operation, materials are moved in defined, repetitive cycles, which is particularly important in synchronized assembly processes or the sequential processing of workpieces.

Yes, the slat top conveyor is also suitable for accumulation mode. In accumulation mode, the conveyor continues to run beneath the accumulated product without generating back pressure that could stress the material or the system. This makes it particularly suitable for applications that require buffer sections or where the material flow is not continuously synchronized, such as in the packaging industry or intralogistics.

The design minimizes maintenance requirements. The individually replaceable chain links allow for targeted maintenance without having to replace the entire chain, and the chain slack ensures optimal tension at all times without the need for manual intervention. Combined with the robust construction, this results in a conveyor system you can rely on for the long term.
