Assembly lines leverage their advantages of standardization, high efficiency, and low cost to be widely applied across various industries in production, processing, sorting, and assembly operations. Different types of assembly lines cater to distinct usage scenarios, categorized as follows:

1. Core Manufacturing Production Scenarios

Automotive and Parts Manufacturing

For vehicle assembly, forced-cycle chain plate lines and circular lines are commonly used to enable continuous operations like body welding, painting, and final assembly. Core component processing—such as engines and transmissions—relies on high-speed chain lines and automated lines, paired with robotic arms for precision assembly and inspection. Heavy component transport (e.g., chassis, tires) suits roller lines due to their high load capacity and ease of directional transitions.

3C Electronics and Home Appliance Production

Assembly of mobile phones, computers, and home appliances represents a classic application for high-speed chain conveyors, enabling precise fixture positioning for multiple processes including screw fastening, screen lamination, and functional testing. Belt conveyors are commonly used for sorting and packaging electronic components (e.g., chips, resistors) due to their smooth operation and ability to protect components from damage. Automated production lines for high-end appliances utilize flexible conveyor systems to support rapid model changeovers.

Machine Tooling and Hardware Manufacturing

Chain plate conveyors are preferred for processing and transporting heavy hardware components like gears and machine tool accessories. They withstand high temperatures and oily environments, handling materials post-forging or grinding. Custom assembly of non-standard equipment suits free-tempo linear assembly lines, allowing workers to flexibly adjust operation rhythms to accommodate process changes.

New Energy Industry

Lithium battery and photovoltaic module production heavily relies on automated assembly lines. These integrate robots and vision inspection equipment to achieve fully unmanned operations throughout cell encapsulation, module assembly, and performance testing. Battery pack transfer commonly uses roller conveyors, meeting heavy-load requirements while facilitating integration with storage systems.

2. Food and Daily Chemical Industry Scenarios

Food Processing and Packaging

For filling, sealing, and labeling of beverages, snacks, and dairy products, forced-cycle belt conveyors enable high-speed continuous production. Stainless steel chain conveyors are used for sorting and transporting frozen foods and fresh produce, offering corrosion resistance and easy cleaning to meet food hygiene standards. Post-baking cooling and packaging of pastries and bread benefit from low-temperature belt conveyors to prevent spoilage from heat exposure.

Daily Chemicals Production

For filling, capping, and boxing of shampoo, laundry detergent, and cosmetics, roller conveyor lines combined with robotic arms enhance packaging efficiency. Small daily chemical items (e.g., lipstick, face cream) are sorted and packed using compact belt conveyors for rapid handling of lightweight materials.

3. Logistics and Warehouse Sorting Scenarios

E-commerce Warehouse Sorting

Scanning, sorting, and categorizing express parcels widely employs a combination of belt conveyors and roller conveyors, integrated with scanning equipment for automated path allocation. Large logistics centers utilize circular conveyors for continuous material sorting, maximizing space utilization.

Internal Factory Material Transfer

Transporting raw materials from warehouses to production areas and moving semi-finished goods between processes. Select belt conveyors (light-duty) or roller conveyors (heavy-duty) based on material weight to reduce manual handling costs.

4. Medical and Pharmaceutical Industry Applications

Medical Device Manufacturing

Assembling surgical instruments, monitors, and similar equipment often employs double-speed chain conveyors. These precisely control workstation cycle times to ensure product precision. Batch production of disposable medical supplies (e.g., syringes, masks) employs automated lines with forced cycle timing for high-speed, sterile manufacturing.

Pharmaceutical Processing and Packaging

Tablet and capsule sorting, bottling, and labeling rely on compact belt conveyors for smooth operation and damage prevention. Vaccine and biopharmaceutical production utilizes temperature-controlled chain plate conveyors to meet specialized thermal requirements.

5. Other Specialized Applications

Apparel & Textile Industry

Garment cutting, sewing, ironing, and packaging utilize linear belt conveyors for continuous processing. Fabric and yarn sorting/conveying employ lightweight roller conveyors, facilitating temporary material storage and transfer.

Building Materials and Chemical Industry

Heavy-duty chain plate conveyor lines are commonly used for grinding, polishing, and sorting tiles and panels, withstanding dusty and high-temperature environments. Sealed chain plate conveyor lines are employed for transporting coatings and chemical raw materials to prevent material leakage and volatilization.
