Overhead Chain Conveyor

Overhead Chain Conveyor for a variety of material handling and transfer tasks

At Statfield’s material handling division, we believe in “Grasp. Think. Solve.” approach. Every enquiry is first analyzed by our engineers to understand customer’s need. Designs are evolved after understanding existing and projected material handling criteria & with advanced manufacturing set up; ideas are transformed into reality with perfection. We conduct in-house overhead chain conveyor trials, before delivery under simulated conditions. Though experience suggests that our product seldom needs service and spares, we have a team of service engineers and a wide dealer network for support should such need arise.

Types of Overhead Chain Conveyors

Statfield overhead chain conveyors are use to move products through processing such as spray painting, dip painting, plating, e-coating, powder coating, sandblasting and cleaning. We provides unique overhead conveyor systems for easy transportation of material from one place to another. Our overhead chain conveyor is a closed system with a roller chain running inside the rails. Load hang on the suspension points on the chain. Check out the following types of overhead chain conveyors.

Free Rail
Aerorail
Transrail
Megarail
Power and Free conveyor

Free Rail

This is the best & most inexpensive choice for transportation of articles to various Locations with a facility to select route, raise, Lower, tilt, queue or wait. Free trolleys carrying weights up to 80 Kg. or 160 Kg. are pulled manually through and enclosed track.

Aerorail

The sophisticated form of overhead chain conveyor with a completely enclosed chain. This medium duty conveyor is mainly used for continuous conveying of material from one point to another, carrying the material through a process station.

Transrail

Conveyor with totally flexible handling. The upper track carries powered chain with trolleys on lower track. Trolley can move with main chain or can be stopped / diverted or dropped vertically & can re-enter the main line at any Location.

Megarail

Power and Free conveyor

271- Power & Free conveyor consists of twin tracks arranged one above another. Upper track carries a continuously moving chain; while the lower track consists of free moving push-pawl trolleys for engaging and disengaging. Features

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Overhead Conveyor?

An overhead conveyor is a material handling system where products are suspended from trolleys or carriers that move along an overhead track, optimizing floor space and ensuring smooth product flow.

What are the main applications of Statfield Overhead Conveyors?

They are widely used in powder coating plants, paint shops, automotive component handling, garment manufacturing, assembly lines, and warehousing for efficient movement of goods.

How does an overhead conveyor improve productivity?

By automating material movement, it reduces manual handling, eliminates bottlenecks, ensures consistent throughput, and enables continuous production flow.

What load capacity do Statfield Overhead Conveyors support?

Statfield designs conveyors to handle varying loads from lightweight parts to heavy industrial components with customized solutions based on your process requirements.

Can Statfield Overhead Conveyors be integrated with painting or coating lines?

Yes. They are engineered for seamless integration with powder coating, liquid painting, and drying systems, ensuring smooth transfer between process stages.

Are Statfield Overhead Conveyors customizable?

Absolutely. We offer customized layouts, track configurations, chain designs, and carrier sizes to suit different industries and plant layouts.

What maintenance is required for overhead conveyors?

Minimal preventive maintenance is needed, such as lubrication of moving parts, inspection of chains and trolleys, and checking track alignment to ensure long-term performance.

Do they help in space optimization?

Yes. By moving materials overhead, they free up valuable floor space for production, storage, or other operational activities.

How are Statfield Overhead Conveyors powered?

They can be motor-driven for continuous operation or manually driven for smaller setups, depending on process needs and cost considerations.

Why choose Statfield Overhead Conveyors?
