Floor Conveyors cover a vast array of different materials handling equipment. The most common and recognizable are standard belt conveyor and roller conveyors we see in large logistics facilities. Plate-link & slat conveyors work in a similar way to rubber belts but offer a more robust construction for heavy or hazardous products. Inverted chain conveyors are excellent alternatives to overhead conveyors in the paint finishing industry and have proved particularly popular with alloy wheel refurbishment and glass bottle finishing plants.

Available as a standard powered, free or power and free system. With product being mounted on top of the track rather than hung underneath offers some products easier access to the side requiring processing.
