Low Noise Powered Pallet Transfer Conveyor Chain For Automated ASRS Systems

Product Specification

Low Noise Pallet Chain Conveyor 500–2000kg for Automated Warehouse and AS/RS Systems

Product Overview

The pallet chain conveyor is a standard conveying solution designed for automated warehouse systems, AS/RS pallet handling lines, and internal factory logistics applications. It is mainly used for the continuous horizontal conveying of pallets, containers, and other regular large goods with suitable bottom support conditions.

This series adopts a chain and sprocket drive structure powered by an electric motor, making it suitable for projects that require stable pallet transfer, defined conveying rhythm, and controlled operating noise in warehouse environments. 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, line circulation, and stacker crane interface sections, this conveyor is a practical engineering solution.

Application Background

In automated warehouse and logistics systems, pallet conveyors are usually expected to meet the following requirements:

• support medium- to heavy-duty pallet transfer
• match upstream and downstream equipment rhythm
• maintain stable conveying during continuous-duty operation
• connect with roller conveyors, lift transfer units, and stacker crane interface sections
• operate with controlled equipment noise in indoor warehouse conditions

For pallets and carriers with defined bottom support, the chain conveyor provides controlled conveying through positive chain and sprocket engagement. With an operating noise level of ≤70 dB(A), this series is suitable for warehouse projects where both stable conveying and controlled noise level are required.

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 logistics rhythm
• Operating noise controlled within ≤70 dB(A) under standard project configuration
• Can be used as a standard conveyor module within automated warehouse 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 vertical movement, floor changes, or lifting operations, it normally requires lifting equipment, lift transfer units, or other vertical conveying modules.

If the environment involves strong corrosion, washdown conditions, or special hygienic requirements, material, protection, and surface treatment details should be confirmed separately by project.

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 automated warehouse and logistics line rhythm
• Operating noise ≤70 dB(A): suitable for warehouse environments with controlled equipment noise requirements
• Low-temperature version down to -25°C: suitable for cold storage and refrigerated warehouse transfer, subject to project configuration

Applications

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

Warehouse Logistics Conveyor Lines
Used for straight pallet transfer, circulation, and connection between warehouse handling sections.

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

Automated Pallet Handling Systems
Used for stable pallet movement between conveying modules in automated warehouse projects.

Material Transfer Before and After Stacker Cranes
Suitable for stacker crane connection, buffer positions, and pallet interface sections.

Containers and Regular Large Goods Conveying
Applicable to containers and regular large goods with suitable bottom support conditions.

System Integration

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

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

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

1. Controlled Low Noise Operation
With an operating noise level of ≤70 dB(A), the conveyor is suitable for warehouse environments where equipment noise needs to be managed.

2. Stable Chain Transmission
The chain and sprocket drive structure is practical for continuous horizontal pallet conveying under defined load and line rhythm conditions.

3. Suitable for Automated Warehouse Systems
It is suitable for AS/RS systems, pallet transfer lines, stacker crane interfaces, and other automated warehouse applications.

4. Flexible Load Configuration
The series supports 500 kg / 1000 kg / 1200 kg / 2000 kg configurations for different pallet handling requirements.

5. Adaptable to Standard and Low-Temperature Projects
It can be configured for standard warehouse environments or low-temperature warehouse conditions based on project requirements.

How to Select

Choose load capacity by pallet weight

• up to 500 kg: 500 kg model
• medium pallet loads: 1000 kg or 1200 kg model
• heavier pallets: 2000 kg model

Choose speed by system rhythm

• standard warehouse transfer: 12 m/min
• higher takt requirements: 14 m/min or 16 m/min

Choose version by environment

• standard warehouse conditions: standard version
• cold storage or refrigerated projects: low-temperature version
• dusty or special industrial conditions: confirm protection details separately

Confirm bottom structure compatibility
The pallet or carrier bottom structure should be suitable for chain-supported conveying. Pallet size, bottom opening type, and support direction should be confirmed before final selection.
