RULA design, manufacture and supply chain conveyors for a wide range of applications

The slat conveyor is a robust, chain-driven system designed to handle lower-density materials with larger lump sizes, such as paper bales. Its overlapping steel slats, bolted onto the chain, provide exceptional impact resistance, ensuring minimal spillage even when transporting fine materials. This makes it ideal for direct material dumping onto the conveyor. The modular design allows for easy adjustments, enabling extensions or reductions in length based on client requirements.

Designed with an inclined head section, the conveyor features lifter bars on the steel slats to prevent material rollback at higher angles. This configuration optimizes machine length while achieving the necessary discharge height. The hydro-mechanical drive system is particularly suited for applications requiring frequent start/stop operations, with an option for variable speed control through modifications to the hydraulic power unit.

Additionally, the conveyor is equipped with protective skirt plates to shield the chain from bulk material, prolonging chain life. Maintenance is made easy with inspection and lubrication hatches on each structural section. A manual screw take-up ensures consistent chain tensioning, while bumper beams with low-friction liners support high-impact areas. These features, combined with a chain and sprocket drive mechanism, ensure reliable and efficient operation for diverse industrial needs.
