Conveyor Specialist Inc’s chain conveyors are normally designed to accommodate a specific load and application. A Chain Conveyor is normally recommended and designed to hold and transfer heavy loads. Chain Conveyors transports loads to its destination point by chains that are linked together normally made of steel; however plastic chains can also be used for lighter load. Chain conveyors normally are designed with two or three strains of chain, however they can also be designed with as many chain strains as required for any given product.

The chains run the length of the conveyor and they support or hold the load being conveyed. Typical applications where chain conveyors are used would be loads or objects such as dairy plastic cases and stack handling, metal trays (such as the ones used in the bakery industry), drum handling and pail handling.  This conveyor is also used for Pallets made from wood or plastic where the bottoms of the pallets are not consistent which can cause problems when using a belt conveyor or rollers. Automation accessories that we offer include Accumulators, Combiners, Dividers, Pushers, Pressure Controls, and zoning or transfers.
