Mat Top Conveyor
Mat Top-style conveyors are a great solution when mass transportation and inline accumulation is required. The smooth "flight-less" surface inherent to these types of chains provides for seamless transition from chain to chain when accelerating or decelerating unstable products at higher speeds.
In addition to transportation and accumulation, Mat Top conveyors are also commonly used to single-file containers at higher speeds as well as to re-introduce the product back to mass for packaging. Smaller pitch Mat Top chains can be used in conjunction with a friction or dynamic nose-over to create close coupled transfers for smaller packages when transfer plates are simply not an option.
