Table Top Conveyors - FAQs

What is a table top conveyor and how does it work?

A table top conveyor uses interlocking plastic or metal chain links to create a flat, continuous surface for transporting products. It’s commonly used in packaging and bottling lines for smooth, low-pressure movement.

These conveyors are ideal for bottles, cans, cartons, jars, and other flat-bottomed containers. They’re widely used in food, beverage, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries.

Chains are typically made from stainless steel or acetal plastic, depending on the application’s hygiene, load, and temperature requirements.

Yes. Modular chain designs allow for straight, curved, and even inclined sections, making them highly adaptable to complex layouts.

Table top conveyors use narrower, interlocking chain links, while mat top conveyors use wider, belt-like surfaces. Table top systems are better for smaller, lighter products and tighter turns.

Yes—especially when built with stainless steel frames and washdown-rated motors. These are common in food and beverage applications.

Speeds vary by application, but they typically operate between 30–200 feet per minute, depending on product weight and spacing needs.

Absolutely. They’re often paired with accumulators, cappers, and controls systems for seamless line automation.

Standard widths range from 3.25″ to 12″, with options for single-lane, multi-lane, and side-flexing configurations.

Regular maintenance includes chain lubrication (if required), tension checks, cleaning, and inspection of wear strips and sprockets.

Yes. They can be engineered with custom curves, inclines, side guides, and transfer modules to fit your facility’s footprint.

Food and beverage, personal care, household products, pharmaceuticals, and light manufacturing all rely heavily on table top conveyor systems for efficient product handling.
