Chain conveyors are internal conveyor systems for transporting unit loads. Conveyance takes place via one or more circulating chain strands on which the goods to be transported lie. Conveyor technology with chains belongs to the category of continuous conveyors and is characterised by almost limitless application possibilities. They are often used for the transport of conveyed goods with small contact surfaces. Even hot, oily, sharp-edged and very long conveyed goods can be transported safely and reliably with these conveyors.

Customised chain conveyors from TEGEL-TECHNIK
We are your specialist for complete chain conveyor systems and individual components in the field of conveyor technology and material flow systems. We have been driving our customers' success with our customized solutions for a wide range of industries since 1982. Different industries have their own specific requirements when it comes to planning, manufacturing and installing conveyor technology. TEGEL-TECHNIK has the experience in each of them and designs, implements and installs the right solution for the respective customer. Discover modern chain conveyors made in Germany and other high-quality components for the smooth transportation of goods.
TEGEL-TECHNIK offers a wide range of chain conveyor variations for different applications, e.g. carrying chain conveyors, modular belt conveyors, apron conveyors, hinged belt chain conveyors and accumulating roller chain conveyors. You can find a selection of our realised projects here.
Advantages of chain conveyors from TEGEL-TECHNIK
At TEGEL-TECHNIK you will find both chain conveyors and belt conveyors. Both systems are indispensable components of material flow systems, but serve different purposes and have different properties. Chain conveyors are ideal for heavy-duty applications and can transport goods with irregular shapes or those that require precise positioning. They are ideal for environments where high strength and durability are required, such as in the automotive or manufacturing industries. Conveyor systems from TEGEL-TECHNIK have even more to offer:
Broad range of applications: Hot, oily, sharp-edged or extra-long goods - with our chain conveyor system you can transport almost any conveyed goods.
Individual and flexible: We offer chain conveyors in different designs, tailored to the nature of your conveyed goods. Thanks to our modular design, the components can also be flexibly integrated into your existing system.
Robust and reliable: Our chain conveyors are characterised by a robust design with high resistance to external influences and a powerful drive. This enables even heavy loads to be transported.
Efficient and economical: Our chain conveyors are durable and low-maintenance conveyor elements. They enable cost-effective transport of your conveyed goods.
Everything from a single source: We offer a high level of vertical integration with an extensive range of mechanical, electrical and software services. As a company in the field of conveyor technology, we draw on our valuable experience since 1982.
Design and functionality of chain conveyors
Based on a robust steel or aluminium base profile, chain conveyors use one or more circulating chain strands. Multi-track systems are mainly used for unit loads of different sizes to ensure support for all dimensions.
The drive sprockets are connected to each other via a shaft and are driven by an electric motor. Depending on the conveyor design, with roller chain, modular belt or slat-band chain, the conveyor system is suitable for different types of goods. The dimensions, shape and weight, as well as the temperature and the surface on which the goods are placed are decisive factors here. Special workpiece holders can also be fitted to chain conveyors.
Depending on the intended use of the conveyor system, different variants of chain conveyors offer different advantages. Very wide conveyor sections can for example be realised via carrying chain conveyors , while on accumulating roller chain conveyor the transported goods can be accumulated. Inclines, e.g. for discharging punching waste, for example, can be accumulated by hinged belt chain conveyors or Modular belt conveyors can be overcome. For the transport or production of pallets, we recommend our conveyor technology, which has been specially adapted for pallets Pallet conveyor technology.
Chain conveyors in use
At TEGEL-TECHNIK, we design conveyor technology for various industries and applications. Compared to roller conveyors, chain conveyors can also transport containers and transport devices that have a very small footprint. Goods with feet that are unsuitable for roller conveyors can also be transported using chain conveyors. Transport by a continuous and guided chain is also safe and reliable for such goods. Even very long conveying distances can be realised with this conveyor system.
We plan your conveyor technology individually and select the conveyors to suit your specific requirements and framework conditions. We combine different components and develop the optimum solution for you. Our projects are just as diverse as the industries and applications of our customers. Among other things, we have designed a system for the feeding of large load carriers weighing up to 500 kg into a robot station. This involved carrying chain conveyors and stroke transfer conveyors in combination with driven roller conveyors for use.
In another project, we realised the transport of crash barriers with a package weight of up to 5.5 t and a length of 4.3 m. The conveyor line consisting of carrying chain conveyors and scissor lift tables is used to transport crash barriers in packages and to remove residual water by lowering scissor lift tables.
