Industrial chains support our daily life and industries as an essential part of society. There are many types of conveying systems for transporting goods, such as belt conveyors, screw conveyors and vibration conveyors. However, each has its own challenges and limitations, such as additional structural supports requirements for long-distance transportation and efficiency. However, chain conveyors that use industrial chains have big advantages to be more functional and flexibility for all purposes.
