What materials are slat top chain conveyors built from?

SANAM builds slat top chain conveyors from either heat-resistant food-grade plastic or stainless steel SS 304. Plastic chains are typical for beverage and bottling applications where weight and quiet operation matter. Stainless steel is used where the chain must carry heavier containers, run wet wash-down environments, or sustain higher mechanical loads.

Can the conveyor be built with curves and direction changes?

Yes. Slat top chain conveyors are designed to flex through curves and direction changes — that is the core advantage of this conveyor type over flat-belt designs. SANAM builds straight runs, 90° elbows, 180° elbows, S-shape and Z-shape configurations to fit your factory layout without requiring a transfer between machines.

Will it integrate with my existing filling, capping, or labeling line?

Yes. SANAM engineers each conveyor to integrate with the upstream and downstream machines already on your floor — fillers, cappers, labelers, packers, palletizers. We size the chain width, set the line speed, and match the transfer points to your existing equipment so the conveyor becomes part of your line, not a separate system.

What capacity and container sizes can SANAM build for?

SANAM builds slat top chain conveyors for the full range of beverage and bottling formats — from small pharmaceutical vials and water cups to PET bottles, glass bottles, edible oil containers, and dairy packaging. Chain widths, line speeds, and frame heights are configured to your specific container, throughput target, and factory footprint.

How long does it take from order to installation?

A custom-engineered slat top chain conveyor typically ships within weeks of order confirmation, not months. Because SANAM manufactures in Egypt, you avoid the multi-month lead times associated with imported conveyor systems. We confirm a project timeline before contract signing.

Material Handling Conveyor

Slat Top
Chain Conveyor

The backbone of any modern beverage or bottling line. A segmented chain — built from heat-resistant food-grade plastic or stainless steel SS 304 — carries containers smoothly through straight runs, curves, elbows, and elevation changes without ever leaving the conveyor surface.

Key Features

What Makes the
Slat Top Chain
Right for Your Line

Six things that separate a SANAM-built slat chain from a generic catalogue conveyor — every one of them a decision we make at the engineering desk before fabrication starts.

Heat-Resistant Plastic or SS 304

Choose the chain material that fits your application — plastic for beverage and bottling, stainless steel for heavier loads or wet wash-down environments.

Straight and Curved Configurations

The chain flexes through 90° and 180° elbows, S-shapes, Z-shapes, and elevation changes — letting containers travel from filler to packer without leaving the conveyor.

Food-Grade Hygienic Design

Built for industries where hygiene cannot be a compromise — open construction, wash-down ready, materials approved for direct food and beverage contact.

Low-Friction, Quiet Operation

Slat segments glide on low-friction wear strips — minimizing chain wear, motor load, energy use, and the noise levels that disturb plant environments.

Custom Widths and Lengths

Sized to your container — narrow chains for pharmaceutical vials, wide chains for crates and oil drums. Lengths configured to your factory layout, not the catalogue.

Integrates With Your Filling Line

Engineered to match the speed, height, and transfer points of your existing fillers, cappers, labelers, and packers — the conveyor becomes part of the line, not a separate system.

Configurations

Six Standard Layouts — Each Built to Your Plant

The slat top chain handles every common direction change in a beverage or bottling plant. Combine multiple shapes into one continuous run when your floor plan calls for it.

Elbow 90°

Right-angle direction change — most common in compact plant layouts.

Elbow 180°

Full U-turn — sends product back along a parallel path. Saves floor space when filler and packer are on the same wall.

Horizontal

Standard straight run between machines — the workhorse layout for any filling line.

Inclined

Elevation change — moves containers between floors or onto a higher transfer point. Friction-top chain prevents slip.

S-Shape

Two opposing curves — used to bypass an obstacle or shift the line laterally without breaking flow.

Z-Shape

Sharp diagonal segment between two horizontal runs — common when raising or lowering line height between adjacent machines.

Industries Served

Where the Slat Top Chain Earns Its Place

Six industries where this conveyor is the right tool for the job — and what it specifically solves in each one.

Mineral Water

PET bottle handling from blow-molder to filler to shrink-wrap.

Soft Drinks

Glass and PET through carbonators, fillers, and labelers.

Edible Oils

Heavy containers, wet wash-down environments — SS 304 chain.

Pharmaceuticals

Narrow chain widths for vials and ampoules under hygienic standards.

Dairy & Juices

Tetra packs, cups, bottles through fillers and sealers.

Food Packaging

Cartons and jars between filler, capper, labeler, case-packer.

Why SANAM

The Conveyor Is Half
the Story. The Team Behind It
Is the Other Half.

Anyone can sell you a conveyor. The question is who picks up the phone six months later when a chain segment fails on a Sunday night.

Egyptian OEM, Not Importer

The conveyor is designed, fabricated, and assembled in our 10th of Ramadan facility — by the same team that installs and supports it. No middleman, no resold equipment, no relabeled imports.

Custom-Engineered to Your Line

We design around your factory floor, your existing fillers and packers, and your container specs. We don't sell standard parts hoping they fit — we design for your line.

Spare Parts in Egypt, in 48 Hours

Spares are typically available within 48 hours from our Egyptian inventory — no import waits, no customs delays, no production downtime while you wait for a chain segment from Europe.

Full System Integration

We don't just supply a conveyor. We connect it to your existing line — matching speed, height, and transfer geometry to your fillers, cappers, labelers, and packers. The line becomes one system, not a stack of disconnected machines.
