Vacuum
Slat Conveyors

Vacuum Slat Conveyors, where a vacuum motor is piped to a chamber within the conveyor body are available. The slat running through the vacuum area of the conveyor is drilled, allowing the product which is being conveyed to be stabilised during the process. These are often used for containers with flat bases such as Polybottles in the dairy and blowmoulding industry sectors, this is a very niche operation and ensures bottle stability at high speeds.

Vacuum Slat Conveyors are frequently used where products need to be secured on the belt, for example, after processes such as blow moulding. With various designs of belts available, together with multiple drives and different options for hole patterns, blowers and ducting. We can cater for a variety of different applications, helping you find the perfect vacuum conveyor for the job.

What other industries
do slat conveyors support?

A variety of industries use slat conveyors, with many companies using them because of their flexibility around loops and bends. They are commonly used for a continuous manufacturing process, bottling plants commonly opt for slat conveyors, and they are also used heavily by the automotive industry so parts can be moved around for painting purposes. Also many companies and organisations operating in the coating and painting industry use the conveyors so paint can be applied with ease.

What makes slat conveyors
different to other conveyors?

Slat conveyors differ from other conveyors in many ways. For instance, they are narrower than plate link conveyors. Two sprockets in the centre enable them to flex, which means bends can easily be created and turned into spirals. All slats are joined together, with the belt being driven instead of individual rollers. These are particularly suited to environments with significantly high and low temperatures.
