Re-configurability in this 140 mm flexible slat-chain conveyor is built into four layers of the design. You can change any one of them—or all four at once—without cutting metal, welding or buying new drives.
Chain & Slats
• 140 mm wide modular chain snaps together like Lego.
• Individual slats (or whole 1 m sections) unclip by hand; different surface patterns (grip-top, roller-top, rubber inset) drop straight in.
• No tools, no pins—open the side rail and lift.
Frame Rails & Legs
• Aluminium side rails are slotted. Tee-nuts slide along the slot, letting you bolt on new sensors, guide rails, or cross-braces wherever you need them.
• Height-adjustable legs (±150 mm) and castor kits let you raise, lower or roll a section away in minutes.
Curves & Direction Changes
• The same 140 mm chain can flex down to a 160 mm inside-radius turn.
• Corner modules (90°, 180° or “S” bends) are pre-engineered; swap them in by releasing two clamps and sliding the module into the slot.
• Merge or divert modules use pop-up rollers or blade stops that bolt into the same slotted rail—no new drives.
Drive & Control Layer
• One 0.37 kW side-mount drive is enough for 15 m of straight run. Add a second “slave” drive module if you extend to 30 m or add steep inclines.
• Plug-and-play cables (M12 quick-connect) mean the whole motor/gearbox unit unbolts and relocates without rewiring.
• VFD parameters are pre-loaded: scan the QR code on the new layout drawing and the drive auto-loads speed curves for the revised path length.
Typical re-configuration timeline
• Change product width guides: 5 min
• Insert 90° corner to bypass new machine: 20 min
• Split one long line into two shorter lines: 45 min (two workers, one Allen key)
Because every interface—chain, rail, drive, control—is modular and repeatable, the conveyor “grows” or “shrinks” with your production schedule rather than becoming scrap metal.
