Product description of the slat band conveyor

Our slat band conveyors are heavy-duty conveyor systems that have been specially developed for demanding industrial applications. Thanks to their sturdy plate construction and the use of high-quality materials, they are able to convey even large loads and bulky objects safely and efficiently – both horizontally and with a slight incline.

Their robust properties make them particularly suitable for use in harsh production environments where conventional conveyor systems quickly reach their limits. In addition, a reliable drive using chain drives or shaft-mounted geared motors ensures smooth and energy-efficient operation.

  • Individual adaptation: Conveyor cross-sections with variable usable widths enable customized solutions for different requirements.
  • Versatile lines: can be used in horizontal design with slight inclines, suitable for various spatial conditions.
  • Reliable drive: Drive via external chain drives or shaft-mounted geared motors ensures smooth operation.
  • Flexible use: Suitable as a single conveyor or as a buffer section; floor or ceiling mounting possible.
  • Easy maintenance: Good accessibility of the components enables cost-saving maintenance work.
  • Conveying speed: Infinitely adjustable by means of a frequency converter.

Advantages of the apron feeder

  • High load capacity: slat band conveyor can easily transport heavy and bulky materials such as metal parts, scrap, castings or biomass
  • Robustness thanks to solid components: Thanks to sturdy panels and chain construction, they are ideal for use in harsh environments
  • Flexibility: Individually customizable in width, length and inclination - perfect for specific requirements in different industries
  • Durability: High-quality materials make the conveyor particularly wear-resistant and durable, even when used intensively
  • Low maintenance: Minimized maintenance effort thanks to sophisticated design and robust components
  • Versatile use: transportation of loose, bulky and sharp-edged materials - such as recycling materials and substitute fuels
  • Reliability: Trouble-free operation even under extreme conditions such as high temperatures, abrasive substances or chemicals

Areas of application

  • Metal processing: transportation of steel and alloy scrap packages, wire mesh and metal parts
  • Foundries: transportation of casting molds and castings
  • Waste disposal: Conveying disruptive materials such as large foreign objects or bulky waste
  • Heavy industry: Use for particularly heavy and bulky materials in harsh environments
  • Logistics centers: transport of large, irregular goods in automated processes
  • Recycling industry: transportation of e-waste (WEEE), refuse-derived fuels (RDF), recycling materials and buffer lines
  • Manufacturing processes in metalworking: material transport during laser cutting, nibbling and punching of sheet metal parts
  • Central material disposal: Efficient disposal solution for machine groups and entire production areas
  • Ideal for dry machining: Suitable for production environments without cooling lubricants

FAQ: Frequently asked questions

How does a slat band conveyor work?

An slat band conveyor consists of robust, interconnected plates that are mounted on two or more external chain strands and moved by a drive system. The shingled plates, consisting of individual metal plates, are firmly connected to the conveyor chains and slide over a guide. This design enables the safe transportation of heavy, sharp-edged or bulky goods.

The drive system, consisting of a motor and gearbox, ensures a smooth movement that can be regulated as required. Thanks to their robust design and wear-resistant materials, apron conveyors are particularly suitable for demanding conditions, such as use at high temperatures or with abrasive materials.

For example, apron conveyors can safely transport heavy, sharp-edged or bulky parts such as cast metal parts, scrap, large components and workpieces. Hot or abrasive materials can also be transported without any problems.

They are used in sectors such as metal processing, recycling, the automotive industry, logistics and heavy industry. They are the ideal solution, especially where high loads and demanding environments prevail.

Yes, our apron conveyors are available in various widths and lengths and can be customized to meet specific requirements. This enables flexible use in a wide variety of production and conveying environments.
