Single Strand Conveyor
Single strand conveyors transport product on a single chain or belt strand — a compact, precise solution for narrow products, carriers, and specialized handling where a full-width belt is unnecessary. Built on a modular aluminum T-slot frame, each system is engineered to your product, carrier, and process, and integrates with stops, sensors, and automation. Because the frame is bolted, layout and length reconfigure as the line changes.
What Are Single Strand Conveyor?
A single strand conveyor is a compact transport conveyor built from aluminum T-slot that carries product on a single chain or belt strand, suited to narrow products, carriers, and precise handling where a full-width belt is unnecessary.
Modular Solutions engineers each single strand conveyor to your product, carrier, and process, with stops, sensors, and guides integrated. Because the frame is bolted, length and layout reconfigure as the line changes.

Why Choose Modular Aluminum T-Slot Construction
Modular Solutions builds every conveyor from aluminum T-slot extrusion rather than a fixed welded frame. The bolted framework integrates directly with guarding, workstations, sensors, and automation, mounts drives, tracking, and accessories anywhere along its length, and reconfigures with hand tools — so length, branches, and layout adapt as products and lines change. Because the structure is modular, a conveyor extends and reconfigures rather than being replaced, protecting your investment. Every conveyor is engineered and built in-house in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
Design & Engineering Considerations
How our engineers approach each conveyor project.
- Product brief - We start from your product, carrier, and process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about single strand conveyors design, integration, and customization.
What is a single strand conveyor?
It is a compact transport conveyor built from aluminum T-slot that carries product on a single chain or belt strand, suited to narrow products, carriers, and precise handling where a full-width belt is unnecessary.
When is single strand the right choice?
When products are narrow, carried on pucks or carriers, or the layout is tight — a single strand transports precisely with a compact footprint.
Can it handle carriers and pucks?
Yes. Single strand conveyors transport pucks, carriers, and fixtures, with guides and stops for accurate positioning at work stations.
Can it position product accurately?
Yes. We integrate guides, stops, and locating features so product is positioned precisely for assembly, inspection, or machine feeding.
Can it integrate with automation?
Yes. Single strand conveyors integrate with sensors, stops, and controls as part of the wider T-slot ecosystem.
Do you provide custom conveyor engineering?
Yes. Our in-house team designs single strand conveyors around your product, carrier, and process, engineered and built in Auburn Hills, MI.
