Pallet conveyor systems
Chain conveyor
Shipping units are picked up horizontally via the chain conveyor, transported further and released again.
With lower weights, the chain conveyor is guided with two parallel chain strands (duplex chain ½"), with heavier weights with three duplex chain strands. Depending on the requirements, these can be supplemented with additional chain strands.
As a rule, chain conveyors are used when the loading unit cannot be transported properly on roller conveyors. This is the case, for example, when different handling devices such as Euro pallets and Düsseldorf pallets must be transported in a mixed transport on one system, or when a handling device must be transported on a roller conveyor system in the transverse direction.
