An Overview of Flight Types
The flights for double-strand chains are designed for exceptionally high conveying capacities and demanding operating conditions. Branscheid offers a variety of flight types that are precisely tailored to the material being conveyed, the system geometry, and the load. The result is uniform material conveyance, high operational reliability, and maximum service life.

Technical Data & Specifications
Double-strand chains
Our double-strand chains are always custom-designed solutions for our customers. They are subjected to a wide variety of conditions and must withstand the specific characteristics of the material being conveyed as well as the demands placed on conveyor chains. Our drop-forged link chains, which are double-strand chains, are manufactured in pitch sizes ranging from 150 to 315 mm.
We don't shy away from a challenge
High breaking load
Rust-resistant
Abrasion-resistant
Heat-resistant

The Welding Process
To optimize the welded joint between the drop-forged link and the driver, we use a burn-off butt welding machine with an integrated deburring device. The flash butt welding process is a computer-controlled welding procedure with parameter logging. This eliminates any adverse effects on the chain link caused by uneven preheating. The result is a homogeneous material structure and a seamless bond between the drop-forged links and the driver. We also utilize oxy-fuel and gas-shielded welding techniques. For use in particularly abrasive environments and to ensure a long service life, we reinforce our chain links with high-hardness armor wire.
To ensure optimal interaction throughout the entire conveying system, we naturally also manufacture the matching sprockets for our conveyor chains.
