Flat Top Chain

Smooth, stable conveying for product transfer and accumulation lines

Flat Top Chain

Overview

Flat top chain provides a continuous, smooth carrying surface for conveying products directly on the chain — no separate belt or slat required. It's widely used in food processing, bottling, packaging, and assembly lines where stable, low-friction product transfer is critical. Keystone Drives sources flat top chain in carbon steel, stainless steel, and plastic across a range of widths and pitches to match your existing conveyor equipment.

Key Features

Smooth Carrying Surface

The flat top plate provides a stable, continuous surface for product conveying — ideal for bottles, cans, cartons, and assembled components that require gentle, controlled transfer.

Multiple Material Options

Available in carbon steel, stainless steel (304 & 316), and plastic. Stainless is ideal for washdown environments; plastic offers lightweight, low-noise conveying and is well-suited for food contact and gentle-handling applications.

Single and Double Flex

Single-flex chain runs straight or curves in one plane; double-flex chain navigates horizontal curves — giving you layout flexibility without additional conveyor equipment.

Fast Availability

Standard widths and pitches quoted and delivered on tight timelines. We can also work with you on a stocking program for high-usage configurations.
