Chain conveyors are mechanical systems used to transport materials from one location to another. They consist of a series of linked chains that move along a track, carrying items on their surface. This type of conveyor is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, mining, and food processing due to its ability to handle heavy loads and operate in harsh environments. The design of chain conveyors allows for continuous movement, making them efficient for bulk material handling. They can be customized to fit various applications, including automotive assembly lines and warehouse operations, ensuring smooth and reliable transport of goods.
