Slat Conveyor Systems

Slat Conveyor Systems are ideal for the transportation of heavy loads such as in assembly lines and production operations. As an industrial slat conveyor manufacturer, IKI designs in-floor slat conveyors are flush with the floor allowing easy access for assemblers’ during the assembly process. 

Slat Conveyor Types

The IKI family of industrial slat conveyor equipment includes:

Single Lane in Floor Slat Conveyors

• Features
  • Single conveyor line
  • Low profile, flush to floor
  • Slats can accommodate fixtures to hold products being assembled
  • Control systems that monitor and display efficiency and productivity
• Benefits
  • Commonly used as a continuously moving line to pace production
  • Easy access to vehicles or product being conveyed through the manufacturing process
  • Safe for manufacturing personnel to stand on the moving conveyor line
  • Designed to convey loads that are dirty, oily, or sandy
• Applications
  • Automotive — trucks, cars, buses, large engines
  • Consumer Goods — large appliances, furniture 
  • Suitable for applications where the load would tear or damage a belt conveyor or a shape that would make it unsuitable for roller conveyors.

Dual Lane in Floor Slat Conveyors

• Features 
  • Dual conveyor line moving in parallel with each other
  • Commonly used as a continuously moving line to pace production
  • Low profile, flush to the floor
  • Slats manufactured of steel or aluminum
  • Control systems that monitor and display efficiency and productivity
• Benefits
  • The dual lane design eliminates the need for a single, very wide slat conveyor to move large wheeled vehicles which can reduce dead load, increase capacity, and reduce cost.
  • Low profile, flush to floor
  • Capable of accommodating pits or lifts between lanes
  • Can accommodate loads up to 800,000 pounds.
• Applications
  • Automotive — trucks, cars, buses, and recreational vehicles (RV’s)
