Product Description
Our chain indexing conveyors are designed for tasks that require precision, speed, and accuracy. They are ideal for ‘start – stop’ applications, where products are moved in a series of steps rather than a continuous flow. This process allows time for additional functions such as filling or depositing items into containers.
The conveyor is powered through a continuous chain arrangement, driven by a stepper motor for quick and accurate indexing.
We can design and customise chain indexing conveyors to suit the required functions and layout that you require. This can include various flight arrangements and conveying mediums.
