Advantages of Slider Belt Conveyors
Slider belt conveyor systems offer several advantages when they are used in production lines. They are able to transport many different materials, including plastic, parts, metals, paper, and boxes. They can also be used to transport awkward or heavy packages in and out of container trucks with minimal effort when a telescoping feature is added to them. They are better to use when transporting items such as loose parts that are difficult for roller bed conveyors to handle.
