Product Overview
The plastic slat conveyor is designed for indoor use with flat-bottomed products and includes adjustable leg height for site-specific installation. It supports straight and curved conveying paths and is built for cost-effective integration into material handling systems.
Part of the Roller Conveyor range, used in Warehouse and Distribution Centres.
Key Benefits
- Suitable for indoor environments with flat-bottomed products
- Adjustable leg height allows for level installation on uneven floors
- Supports both straight and curved conveying paths
- Economical and practical for high-volume or repetitive handling tasks
- Easy to integrate into existing conveyor lines or production layouts
Application Scenarios
- Conveying flat-bottomed components in a warehouse picking line
- Moving packaged goods along a production line with a 90-degree curve
- Integrating into a packaging station where product alignment is critical
- Setting up a temporary or modular line in a factory with variable floor levels
- Handling components in a cleanroom or dry environment where metal conveyors are not required
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building custom lines for industrial clients
- Material handling equipment builders needing a low-cost conveying solution
- Warehouse and logistics contractors installing automated transfer points
- Assembly line builders integrating conveyors into production cells
- Industrial distributors stocking modular conveyor components for resale
Problems It Solves
- Flat-bottomed products that slip or tilt on roller or belt conveyors
- Installation on uneven or sloped floors without requiring floor leveling
- Need for a curved section in a line without using complex powered diverters
- Budget constraints that limit the use of fully motorized or metal conveyors
- Lack of flexibility in conveyor height during setup or maintenance
Technical Features
- Plastic slats provide a stable surface for flat-bottomed items
- Adjustable legs allow height variation to match adjacent equipment
- Designed for indoor use with no environmental protection for outdoor exposure
- Supports both straight and curved conveying paths without additional components
- Built for easy assembly and integration into existing lines
Materials
- Plastic slats for non-marking, lightweight, and low-friction product contact
- Steel frame for structural stability and support
- Adjustable legs made of steel with threaded inserts for height fine-tuning
Quality Control
- Slats checked for consistent width and flatness before assembly
- Adjustable legs tested for smooth height adjustment and locking
- Frame inspected for straight alignment and secure slat mounting
- Conveyor run tested for smooth operation on straight and curved sections
Customization Options
- Custom length available to match line requirements
- Adjustable leg height can be set to match adjacent equipment
- Slat width and spacing can be modified for specific product sizes
- Frame color or slat color available on request
- Curved sections can be configured for specific turning angles
Use Guide
- Ensure product bottom is flat and rigid to prevent slat deformation
- Set leg height to match adjacent equipment to avoid drop-offs or misalignment
- Use curved sections only within the design limits of the conveyor
- Avoid overloading individual slats beyond their structural capacity
- Clean slats regularly to prevent debris buildup that affects movement

Compared With Other Options
| Metal roller conveyors | Plastic slat conveyors are lighter and quieter, but less suitable for heavy or irregular loads |
|---|---|
| Belt conveyors | Plastic slat conveyors handle flat-bottomed items better and are easier to clean, but not ideal for flexible or soft materials |
| Standard plastic roller conveyors | Slat conveyors provide continuous surface support, reducing product tipping compared to roller-based systems |
