Slat Chain Conveyor — Flexible Bottle & Product Conveying System for Packaging Lines
Jagat Industries manufactures the Slat Chain Conveyor — a versatile, durable conveying system used to transport bottles, cans, jars, and packaged products between processing stations on bottling and packaging lines. Built with stainless steel or mild steel frames and food-grade plastic or stainless steel slat chain links, our slat conveyors are suitable for pharmaceutical, liquor, food, and beverage packaging environments in custom lengths and widths.
For packaging line standards, refer to PMMI’s packaging machinery resources.
How It Works
Slat chain conveyors use interlocking flat slat links mounted on a continuous chain drive. Products placed on the slats are carried smoothly between stations. The flat, gapless slat surface provides stable support for bottles and containers of all shapes, preventing tipping and spillage. Speed is controlled by a variable-speed motor drive, allowing the conveyor to be matched to the production rate of any upstream or downstream machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
A slat chain conveyor uses flat interlocking slat links on a continuous chain to provide a smooth, stable surface for transporting products between stations on a packaging or bottling line.
Slat chain conveyors use rigid interlocking plastic or metal slats; belt conveyors use a continuous flexible belt. Slat chains are more durable for heavy glass bottles; belts are quieter and suit lighter products.
Yes — the rigid flat slat surface is ideal for stable glass bottle transport.
Yes — variable speed motor control allows matching to any line speed.
Yes — length, width, and height are customisable.
