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.
Sentry Mat Top conveyors feature the same rugged construction as our Table Top conveyors, and are also offered in both painted mild steel and polished stainless steel construction. A variety of chain pitches and thickness are available depending on the product.
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.
Standard options include drip pans for lubricated chains, catch pans for broken glass and sanitary closed-top construction. Anti-static strips can be intermittently added to the carry chain to help dissipate the charge that can build when conveying plastic containers in bulk.
