Chain conveyor

Transport your goods safely and quickly

Our chain conveyors offer a reliable solution for transporting heavy, bulky or sensitive goods – with maximum efficiency. Thanks to robust materials, flexible design and customizable components, they adapt perfectly to your production environment and ensure that everything runs smoothly.

Chain conveyors: Reliable transportation for heavy goods

Chain conveyors are mechanical conveyor systems that consist of one or more continuously circulating chains and are used to transport piece goods and bulk goods. They are particularly suitable for transporting heavy loads, pallets or oily workpieces and are characterized by their high resistance to wear and external influences. The manufacturing industry uses chain conveyors, for example, to remove chips, sheet metal parts or larger offcuts or workpieces from processing machines.

How chain conveyors boost your production

An efficient material flow is crucial for smooth production. However, bulky, heavy or sensitive goods pose a challenge in many companies. Conventional conveyor systems often reach their limits here, resulting in inefficient processes, increased maintenance costs and production delays. Chain conveyors offer a reliable solution to avoid these problems and optimize material transport.

Thanks to our innovative conveyor technology, you receive a scalable and future-proof solution that both reduces costs and sustainably increases productivity.

Our chain conveyors at a glance

Our chain conveyors offer tailor-made solutions for a wide range of applications and material types. Depending on the requirements, different conveyor types are used that have been specially designed for specific transport tasks.

Scraper conveyor

Our scraper conveyors are high-performance systems for the reliable transportation of metal chips and other bulk materials. They are based on a chain system with robust flights that transport the material through the conveyor channel in a controlled manner. The enclosed design prevents chips or dust from escaping into the production environment. Thanks to the adjustable incline angle and flexible design, they can be easily integrated into existing production systems. Their wear-resistant design ensures a long service life and minimal maintenance requirements, even under demanding operating conditions.

Apron feeder

Our apron conveyors are particularly robust systems for the reliable transportation of heavy and bulky unit loads such as sheet metal packages, castings or forged parts. They impress with their robust design and are ideal for use in demanding production environments. Thanks to their flexible line layout, they can be easily integrated into existing systems and convey the material safely both horizontally and with a slight incline. Thanks to their durable construction and maintenance-friendly design, they guarantee smooth operation under high loads and a wide range of applications.

Hinged belt conveyor

Our hinged belt conveyors are specially designed for transporting metal chips, punching waste and other bulk materials over long distances. They consist of robust hinged plates that are connected via lateral chain strands and enable even material conveying. Thanks to their high load capacity, they transport both dry and wet chips safely. The design allows variable incline angles so that the conveyors can be flexibly adapted to the requirements of the production environment.

Scrap conveyor

Our scrap conveyors are specially developed hinged belt conveyors with a particularly robust design, which are designed for transporting metal waste and punching scrap. They have standardized conveyor cross-sections with variable effective widths and special conveyor chains with track rollers or flanged rollers. They are driven by shaft-mounted geared motors or geared motors with flange couplings. If required, the conveyor speed can be infinitely adjusted via a frequency converter in order to optimally adapt the material flow to the production requirements. These conveyors are available in horizontal or inclined versions. Depending on their size, they can be mounted on the floor or ceiling for flexible integration into different production environments.

Our chain conveyors offer you these advantages

Robust construction

The sturdy welded construction ensures a high load-bearing capacity and resistance to mechanical loads. The chains used are made of high-quality materials, which increases the service life and minimizes wear.

Modular expandability

Our chain conveyors consist of modular components that allow flexible adaptation to different requirements. Individual segments can be added or replaced, allowing the system to be easily adapted to changing production conditions.

Durability and low maintenance

Thanks to the use of low-wear materials and a robust design, chain conveyors are designed for long-term use. Maintenance intervals are comparatively long, which reduces downtimes and lowers operating costs.

High adaptability

They can be adapted for different conveyed goods and environments, for example for heavy pallets, sensitive workpieces or oily production areas. Different chain types and conveyor speeds enable optimum adaptation to the material flow.

High load capacity

Chain conveyors are designed for heavy loads and high point loads. They are suitable for transporting massive components or bulky goods without overloading the structure.

Insensitivity to harsh working environments

They are resistant to external influences such as dust, moisture or temperature fluctuations. This makes them suitable for use in demanding industries such as metal processing or mining.

Energy efficiency

Our systems reduce energy consumption thanks to modern drive systems. Control technologies such as demand-based power adjustment or switching off unused drive units help to increase efficiency.

Prevents the conveyed goods from twisting

As the chains run synchronously via a common drive shaft, the alignment of the conveyed goods remains stable. This is particularly advantageous for processes that require precise positioning, such as in automated production lines.

Our conveyor technology in use: Industries at a glance

Chain conveyors are an indispensable means of transport in many branches of industry, as they enable the safe and efficient transportation of heavy, bulky or sensitive materials. Typical areas of application are

Automotive industry: Transportation of vehicle parts and assemblies within the production halls, especially in assembly and painting lines.
Food and beverage industry: Hygienic transportation of bottles, cans and packaging with easy-to-clean chain plate conveyors.
Mechanical engineering and metal processing: Movement of heavy machine parts, metal plates or workpieces within production.
Logistics and warehouse technology: Efficient transport of pallets, large boxes or other bulky goods in distribution centers and warehouses.
Building materials industry: Used in the production and transportation of cement, glass, bricks and other heavy building materials.

This versatility makes chain conveyors an important component in modern industrial and logistics processes.
