Buyer focus
Tabletop chain conveyors are selected around the container base.
The container size, base shape, filled weight and line speed all affect whether a tabletop chain route is appropriate. The layout should also consider bends, guide rails and machine transfers.
Where the line handles different formats, adjustment and changeover should be included in the discussion.
What to compare
- Chain width and container base
- Straight and curved route requirements
- Guide rail positions
- Machine transfer heights
Information to send
- Container dimensions and weights
- Line speed and buffer needs
- Route shape and floor space
- Product range and changeover frequency
Layout planning
Check these four points before you confirm the conveyor route.
Small details at planning stage can prevent unstable transfers, awkward access and output issues later.
Start with the product
Confirm size, weight, base shape and stability before choosing the conveyor type.
Check the machines
Match conveyor height, speed and direction to the equipment on either side.
Allow for access
Keep room for loading, cleaning, adjustment, inspection and safe operation.
Plan the buffer
Decide whether the line needs accumulation to protect output during short stops.
