Upper Chain Conveyor
Reliable industrial conveying solution
The top chain conveyor is mainly used in the automated transport and distribution of food products, canned goods, medicines, beverages, cosmetics, cleaning products, paper products, condiments, dairy products and tobacco, as well as in the online transport of postal packages.
Type: Top Chain Conveyor
Speed: 10 to 40 m/min
Width: 63.5 mm to 609 mm
Product Description
The chain conveyor uses standard chains as a support surface and is driven by a geared motor. By using multiple parallel rows of chains, it is possible to obtain a wide chain conveyor with differential speed.
By exploiting this speed difference, multi-row conveying can be converted into single-row conveying without extrusion, or conversely, single-row conveying can be transformed into multi-row conveying at reduced speed to meet high-quantity feeding requirements.
It is possible to create overlapping mixed chains at the beginning and end of the conveyor line, ensuring a dynamic transition of the bottle (or can) body and preventing any obstruction of the conveyor line. This system allows for the conveying of empty, full (pressurized), or unpressurized bottles.

Applications a Industries
Tabletop chain conveyors use slats or aprons mounted on the two strands of drive chains as conveying surfaces. They are ideal for applications such as high-temperature furnaces, heavy material handling, or other demanding environments.
Specific Application Areas
- Automated transport and distribution
- Food and drinks
- Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics
- Cleaning products and paper
- Dairy products and condiments
- Postal packaging
- High-temperature environments
- Transport of heavy goods
Benefits
The slats are generally made of engineering plastic, galvanized steel, or stainless steel. The speed of these conveyors can be constant or variable, depending on the requirements. Jigs or clamping devices can be added to the slats to create assembly or production lines.
Key Advantages of the Top Chain Conveyor
Configuration Flexibility
Slatted conveyors are available in standard sizes of 5, 10, or 12 meters, with variable center-to-center spacing to suit requirements. Other dimensions are also available; capacity is determined based on the size of the unit operation to be performed, the number of operators, and their productivity.
- Horizontal or inclined configuration
- Transport between different floors
- Adaptation to specific needs
Versatility and Performance
Designed to operate in demanding environments with high carrying capacity and high reliability.
- Suitable for high-temperature environments
- Heavy goods transport capacity
- Templates and integrated fixing devices
- Formation of complete assembly lines
