链板输送线广泛应用于冶金、煤炭、电力、食品、化工、烟草、饮料等待业。如灌装、贴标、喷码，因带有和挡板特别适用于传送粉料和散料物品。它可沿水平或倾斜方向输送各种散状物料和成品物件，也可用于流水线中运送物件。由于他的承载部分和运行部分均用金属材料构成，因而与其他连续输送设备相比，它可输送比较承重、颗粒粗大、磨琢性强的物料或成件物，并适宜输送300—700度的高温物料或成件物。因电控方式不同可实现连续式和间歇式运行，为客户的生产提供了有力的保障。
链板输送机是在链式输送机的两侧链条间加装板式构件，以达到输送型态不规则的物品，利用固接在牵引链上的一系列板条在水平或倾斜方向输送物料的输送机。它由驱动机构、张紧装置、牵引链、板条、驱动及改向链轮、机架等部分组成。板条的形式依输送物料的不同而异。输送成件物品时采用平板条；输送粒度较大的散状物料时采用带挡边的搭接板条；输送粒度较小的物料时采用带挡边的槽形板。
带挡边的槽形板条可增加输送倾角和增大输送能力。一般的板式输送机的输送能力在840米/时以下，板条宽度在1600毫米以内，输送速度在0.1—0.66米/秒之间。输送距离一般不大：带挡边的板式输送机在地面上工作的可达300米；在地面下，例如在翻车机下的地坑中工作的有的达到600米。板式输送机可输送沉重的、大块的、磨琢性大的和炽热的物料，在输送的同时还可完成一些生产操作，如烘干、冷却、洗涤等。这种输送机的结构比较复杂，运动部件的质量大，维修不便，成本较高。

Plate chain conveyor line are widely used in metallurgy, coal, electricity, food, chemical, tobacco, beverage industry. Such as filling, labeling, coding, with and a baffle plate is especially suitable for conveying powder and bulk goods. It can be horizontal or inclined along conveying direction of various bulk materials and finished objects, can also be used for pipeline transporting objects. Because of his bearing part and the operation part are made of metal material, and compared with other continuous conveying equipment, it can carry more weight, large particles, wear resistance strong materials and objects, and is suitable for the delivery of 300 - 700 degrees high temperature materials and objects. Because of different control modes can realize continuous and intermittent operation, the production for customers to provide a strong guarantee.
Chain conveyor in chain conveyor chains on both sides is arranged between the plate member, to achieve delivery type irregular items, using fixed on the traction chain on a series of slats in horizontal or inclined conveying direction of the material conveyor. It is composed of a driving mechanism, the tensioning device, traction chain, slats, drive and to the sprocket, rack and other components. Lath form according to the material conveying vary. Conveying formed articles with flat strips; a larger size of the bulk material conveyor used with retaining edge overlapping slats; conveying the material with smaller granularity with the trough plate with ribs.
With retaining edge groove bar can increase the inclination of the conveyor and increase transport capacity. In general the slat conveyor conveying capacity at 840 meters /, lath width of less than 1600 mm, conveying speed in 0.1 - 0.66 meters / second. The transportation distance is small: retaining edge slat conveyor on the ground work of up to 300 meters; under the ground, for example in the dumper under pit work some reached 600 meters. Slat conveyor can transport the heavy, large, of large mill cut and hot material in transportation, can also do some operations, such as drying, cooling, washing and other. The conveyor structure is more complex, the mass of the moving parts, inconvenient repair, high cost.
