Lightweight polyacetal slat chains for quiet, smooth conveying of bottles and containers.
Also known as: Plastic table-top chains, Acetal slat chains, POM tabletop chains, Bottle conveyor chains, Straight-running and side-flexing chains
MOVEX plastic slat chains are the standard conveying surface for bottles, cans and containers on beverage, dairy and personal-care lines. Polyacetal (POM) plates are lightweight, low-friction and quiet, and they do not scratch PET bottles or cans, which makes them ideal for single-file and mass conveying, accumulation and combiners.
Straight-running chains are used on long straight sections, while side-flexing chains run around curves without transfers, simplifying layouts. Low-friction plastic chains reduce the lubrication needed and suit dry-lube or dry-running lines with the right wear strips.
We supply chains with matching sprockets, wear strips, side guides and conveyor components, and can recommend chain and wear-strip combinations for your speeds, loads and lubrication method.

Frequently asked questions
Plastic (acetal) chains are quieter, lighter and lower-friction, ideal for PET and cans. Stainless chains suit heavy glass, crate washers and abrasive conditions.
Yes. Side-flexing chains run around curves on matching curve tracks, avoiding transfers between conveyors.
Many lines run with soap or water lubrication; with suitable chain and wear-strip materials, dry-lube and dry-running operation is also possible.
Chain type and width (or the code on the old chain), length or number of links, and whether the line is straight or has curves.
