Difference Between Mattop and Tabletop Chain
The primary function of a FlatTop Chain is to transport products from one point to another. It is used to convey, transfer, accumulate, meter, elevate, and lower items of varying sizes and shapes. Conveyor Types Products can be transported using various methods, including gravity, belt, roller, skate wheel, air, industrial chain, spiral conveyors, and flat top chains. - Belt Conveyors Belt conveyors consist of a head and tail pulley with a belt stretched between them. Take-up devices maintain belt tension, enabling the pulleys to drive the belt via friction. The belt may slide on a steel surface or run on rollers. However, belts are subject to wear, stretching, and tracking issues, making repairs or replacement time-consuming. - Roller and Skate Wheel Conveyors These conveyors can be gravity-based or powered, with rollers rotating on bearings. Uneven or damaged rollers may cause an inconsistent surface, potentially harming products. A...
