Slat Conveyors

What is a Slat Conveyor? 

A slat conveyor is a rugged, heavy-duty conveyor system built to handle challenging applications. Unlike belt or roller conveyors, slat conveyors use a series of interlinked slats—typically made from steel or other durable materials—mounted on chains to create a moving surface. These conveyors are ideal for transporting sharp-edged, hot, or heavy parts in harsh environments.

Slat conveyors are engineered to handle high-impact conditions where dropped parts, abrasive materials, and elevated temperatures are common. They are an excellent choice for applications like weld cells, stamping operations, and other automated industrial environments.

Slat Conveyor Applications & Accessories 

Slat conveyors are commonly used in manufacturing environments that demand reliability and strength. Their flat, segmented surface provides superior support for unstable or irregular-shaped products, while also resisting damage from heat, sharp edges, or falling parts.

MC3 Manufacturing offers full customization for slat conveyor size and functionality, with widths and lengths built to meet your exact operational needs.

Applications include: 

• Weld Cells: Built to withstand extreme heat and dropped hot metal parts.
• Stamping: Ideal for moving sharp-edged stamped parts in high-volume settings.
• Automation: Works seamlessly with robotic systems and part ejectors.

Available Accessories:

• End Guards & Tunnel Guards: For added safety and containment of moving parts.
• Customizable Controls: Full integration of turnkey control systems tailored to your specific processes.
• Split Lanes: Allows sorting and distribution of parts along multiple paths.
• Cooling Tunnels: Available for applications where parts need to be cooled post-process.
