In industrial conveyor systems, HS 2600 and HS 2800 tray conveyor chains are widely used for their reliable performance, flexibility, and compatibility with a wide range of production lines. These chain conveyos are specifically designed for transporting trays in food processing, packaging, assembly, manufacturing, and warehouse automation applications.
Overview of HS 2600 & HS 2800 Tray Conveyor Chains
HS 2600 and HS 2800 are heavy-duty plastic conveyor chains engineered for conveying trays, pallets, and other flat-bottom products in automated conveyor systems. Their robust modular construction, excellent load capacity, and smooth operation make them suitable for food & beverage, electronics, packaging, assembly, and logistics industries.
Both HS 2600 and HS 2800 can be used in straight-running conveyors or side-flexing conveyor systems (TAB versions), allowing manufacturers to design conveyor layouts that maximize production efficiency and optimize available floor space.
Manufactured from high-performance POM (Polyoxymethylene) engineering plastic, these chains offer excellent wear resistance, impact strength, and reliable performance in continuous-duty industrial environments.
Available models include:
- HS-2600-O
- HS-2600TAB-O
- HS-2600FT-O
- HS-2600FTTAB-O
- HS-2800-O
- HS-2800TAB-O
Construction & Materials
HS 2600 and HS 2800 tray conveyor chains feature a modular chain design that delivers excellent strength, stable conveying performance, and simplified maintenance. The modular construction also allows damaged chain sections to be replaced quickly, minimizing production downtime.
The chain modules are manufactured from POM (Polyoxymethylene) engineering plastic, providing outstanding mechanical strength, low friction, excellent wear resistance, and resistance to many industrial chemicals.
Connecting pins are available in stainless steel or engineering plastic, ensuring long service life and dependable operation under continuous production conditions.
TAB models including HS-2600TAB-O and HS-2800TAB-O, feature integrated guide tabs on both sides of the chain. These guide tabs improve chain tracking through curves, reduce chain misalignment, and help keep trays securely positioned throughout the conveying process.
Thanks to their durable construction and premium materials, HS 2600 and HS 2800 tray conveyor chains are suitable for food processing, beverage production, electronics manufacturing, assembly lines, logistics centers, and other automated material handling systems.

Benefits of HS 2600 & HS 2800 Tray Conveyor Chains
HS 2600 and HS 2800 tray conveyor chains provide an efficient conveying solution for automated production systems and offer numerous advantages:
- Reliable performance and long service life with excellent load-bearing capacity for continuous industrial operation.
- Higher conveying efficiency, enabling fast, synchronized, and uninterrupted tray transportation.
- Smooth, low-noise operation, minimizing vibration and improving the working environment.
- Flexible conveyor design, suitable for both straight-running and side-flexing conveyor systems (TAB models). For applications requiring tight turning radii and frequent directional changes, the Movex 260M LFA Side-Flex Plastic Chain is also an excellent alternative.
- Reduced labor and operating costs through automated tray handling.
- Improved conveying accuracy, ensuring trays and products remain stable throughout transportation.
- Easy installation and maintenance thanks to the modular chain design, allowing quick replacement or future system expansion.
- Enhanced workplace safety by reducing manual material handling.
- Optimized factory layout, making better use of available production floor space.
Typical Applications
- Food & Beverage Industry: Conveying trays carrying raw materials, packaged products, and finished goods throughout processing, packaging, and sorting lines.
- Electronics & Mechanical Manufacturing: Transporting trays containing electronic components, machined parts, subassemblies, and finished products through automated assembly systems.
- Packaging & Logistics: Supporting sorting, packaging, and material transfer between different production processes to improve workflow efficiency.
- Warehousing & Automated Storage: Connecting storage areas, shipping stations, and AS/RS (Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems) to maximize warehouse productivity.
- Industrial Manufacturing: Transporting trays, machine parts, and workpieces between production stages while maintaining a smooth and continuous manufacturing process.
