Ketjukuljetteja
Ketjukuljetteja is a Finnish term used in industrial engineering contexts to describe a chain-driven transport mechanism that moves goods along a production or handling line. The concept refers to a conveyor system consisting of linked chain segments that act as carriers or support structures for items. The name derives from ketju (chain) and kuljettaa (to transport), with the suffix -ja indicating an agent; the plural ketjukuljetteja denotes several such modules or units.
Design and operation: The system comprises modular chain sections that can be arranged in straight or curved
Applications: Ketjukuljetteja is applied in manufacturing lines, warehousing, and material handling where durable, low-maintenance transport is
Variants and comparison: Compared with belt conveyors, ketjukuljetteja systems can offer higher weight capacity and robustness

Notes: The term is used in Finnish-language sources to describe a class of chain-based transport modules; in
