Plate Link Conveyor Belts
Plate link conveyor belts, also known as slat conveyor belts or chain plate conveyor belts, are a type of conveyor belt that uses metal plates connected together in a chain-like pattern to transport materials. These belts are commonly used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, automotive manufacturing and packaging. The metal plates are typically made from stainless steel, carbon steel, or galvanized steel, which ensures durability and corrosion resistance. The plates are connected together using hinge pins or rods, allowing for flexibility and smooth movement along the conveyor system.
These belts are known for their high load capacity, smooth operation, and easy maintenance. They are ideal for transporting materials such as glass bottles, cans, boxes, and pallets. Plate link conveyor belts are also capable of handling inclines, declines, and curves, making them versatile for various manufacturing processes.
As a leading manufacturer of plate link conveyor belts, we offer a wide range of customization options, including various plate sizes, hinge designs, pitch, material and surface coatings, to meet customers specific application requirements.
Overall, plate link conveyor belts offer a reliable, durable and cost-efficient solution for moving materials in industrial applications.

Applications
The unique design of the Metal Chain Plate conveyor belt, which consists of stainless steel or carbon steel plates linked together by cross rods, makes them ideal for applications that require strong and durable belts that can withstand heavy loads and high temperatures. Plate conveyor belts are commonly used in a variety of industries due to their durability and strength:
1. Food Industry: Plate link conveyor belts are widely used in the food prossingindustry for conveying items such as meat, poultry, seafood, fruits, and vegetables. The smooth surface of the plates prevents food products from getting stuck or damaged during transportation, making them ideal for food handling applications. In addition, they are ideal for applications that require high temperatures, such as baking or frying.
2. Automotive Industry: Plate link conveyor belts are used for conveying automotive parts during the automotive manufacturing processes. They can withstand heavy loads and are resistant to oil and grease, making them suitable for use in harsh industrial environments.
3. Packaging Industry: Plate link conveyor belts are commonly used in the packaging industry for conveying boxes, cartons, and other packaged goods. They provide a smooth and efficient conveying surface that helps to maximize production efficiency.
4. Mining Industry: Plate link conveyor belts are used in the mining industry for transporting heavy and bulky materials, such as coal, ore, and aggregate. The strong construction of the belts ensures that they can handle large loads without any risk of breakage or damage. In addition, They are able to withstand the harsh conditions of mining operations and provide reliable performance in demanding environments.
5. Recycling Industry: Plate link conveyor belts are used in the recycling industry for transporting materials such as plastic, paper, glass, and metal. They are able to handle a wide range of materials and are resistant to wear and tear, making them ideal for use in recycling facilities.
In addition, plate link conveyor belts are often used in high-temperature applications such as drying ovens, furnaces, and heat treatment processes. The heat-resistant properties of the stainless steel plates make them suitable for operating in extreme temperatures without deforming or losing their structural integrity.
Overall, Plate link conveyor belts are versatile and reliable conveying solutions for a wide range of applications where strong and durable belts are required for transporting materials safely and efficiently.
