Low Temp Pallet Chain Conveyor 500kg – 2000kg Cold Storage Drag Chain Conveyor

Low-Temperature Pallet Chain Conveyor 500–2000kg for Cold Storage and Automated Material Handling Systems

Product Overview

The low-temperature pallet chain conveyor is a standard conveying solution designed for cold storage logistics, automated warehouse systems, and industrial material handling lines that require continuous horizontal transfer under low-temperature or standard operating conditions. It is mainly used for pallets, containers, and other regular large goods with suitable bottom support conditions.

This series adopts a chain and sprocket transmission structure driven by an electric motor, making it suitable for projects that require stable pallet flow, defined conveying rhythm, and system integration. Standard load configurations include 500 kg / 1000 kg / 1200 kg / 2000 kg, with standard conveying speeds of 12 / 14 / 16 m/min. For pallet infeed and outfeed transfer, workstation connection, buffering, and cold-chain warehouse circulation, this conveyor is a practical engineering solution.

Application Background

In cold storage and automated material handling systems, pallet transfer equipment is usually expected to meet the following requirements:

• the conveyor should support medium- to heavy-duty pallet transfer
• the conveying speed should match upstream and downstream system rhythm
• the structure should operate in low-temperature warehouse conditions
• the equipment should connect with roller conveyors, lift transfer units, and AS/RS interface sections
• the system should support continuous-duty material handling tasks

For pallets and carriers with defined bottom support, the chain conveyor provides controlled conveying through positive chain and sprocket engagement. For this reason, it is widely used in cold storage logistics, refrigerated warehouse projects, AS/RS pallet handling lines, and internal factory transfer systems.

Technical Solution

This pallet chain conveyor series is mainly composed of support legs, conveying beams, chain and sprocket drive components, a motor drive unit, and basic safety protection structures. During operation, the motor drives the sprocket, and the chain advances the pallet at a defined pitch for continuous horizontal transfer.

Transmission Features

• chain and sprocket positive engagement suitable for pallet applications
• supports project selection within the 500–2000 kg load range
• standard conveying speed of 12–16 m/min for warehouse and logistics rhythm
• suitable for continuous horizontal conveying in low-temperature or standard environments
• can be used as a standard conveyor module within automated handling systems

Application Boundary

This page refers to a horizontal pallet chain conveyor series, mainly for straight conveying, station connection, and buffer transfer.

If a project involves floor changes, vertical movement, or lifting operations, it normally requires lifting equipment, lift transfer units, or other vertical conveying modules.

If the load bottom structure is not suitable for chain-supported conveying, or if the environment involves strong corrosion, washdown, or special hygienic requirements, material and configuration should be confirmed separately.

Specifications

Specification Notes

• 500–2000 kg load range: suitable for standard pallet to medium/heavy-duty pallet handling
• 12–16 m/min speed range: suitable for warehouse logistics and automation line rhythm
• low-temperature version down to -25°C: suitable for cold storage and refrigerated warehouse transfer, subject to project configuration
• 1500–3000 mm length range: suitable for workstation connection, buffer lines, and interface sections

Applications

This low-temperature pallet chain conveyor is mainly used in the following scenarios:

Cold Storage and Low-Temperature Warehouse Logistics Systems
Used for pallet circulation, transfer, and buffering in refrigerated or low-temperature logistics environments.

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)
Used for pallet infeed, outfeed, buffering, and interface transfer sections.

Pallet Infeed and Outfeed Transfer Sections
Suitable for loading, unloading, handover, and transition sections in automated pallet systems.

Factory Internal Material Handling Systems
Used for pallet transfer, material buffering, and station connection in industrial facilities.

Manufacturing Production Lines
Suitable for pallet transport and intermediate transfer between workstations.

Continuous Industrial Material Conveying Systems
Used in projects requiring continuous-duty conveying for pallets and regular large goods.

System Integration

This pallet chain conveyor can be used as a standard unit in automated logistics systems and integrated with:

• roller conveyors
• lift transfer units
• AS/RS infeed and outfeed interfaces
• automated warehouse conveyor lines
• pallet buffer and diversion sections
• stacker crane related interface modules

In most projects, this conveyor is used as a basic conveying module within a complete pallet handling system, rather than as a standalone machine.

Advantages

Suitable for Low-Temperature Operation
The low-temperature version is designed for -25°C to 5°C operating conditions, making it suitable for cold storage and refrigerated warehouse projects.

Stable Continuous Conveying
The chain and sprocket structure is practical for continuous horizontal pallet transfer under defined load and line rhythm conditions.

Configurable Load Capacity
The series supports 500 kg / 1000 kg / 1200 kg / 2000 kg configurations for different project requirements.

Easy System Integration
It can be integrated with roller conveyors, lift transfer units, AS/RS interfaces, and other automated warehouse equipment.

Suitable for Standard and Low-Temperature Projects
The conveyor can be configured for both low-temperature warehousing and standard industrial material handling environments.

How to Select

This pallet chain conveyor series is suitable when the following conditions apply:

Recommended Conditions

• pallet loads within the 500–2000 kg range
• required conveying speed of 12 / 14 / 16 m/min depending on line rhythm
• mainly horizontal straight conveying
• materials are pallets, containers, or regular large goods with suitable bottom support
• the project requires integration with warehouse automation equipment or cold-chain logistics systems

Cases Requiring Other Configurations

• pallet loads exceed 2000 kg
• higher conveying speed is required
• vertical transfer or multi-level handling is required
• the environment involves strong corrosion, washdown, or special hygiene demands without confirmed material and surface treatment options
• the pallet bottom structure is not suitable for chain-supported conveying
