Double Plus Chain: High-Speed, Low-Noise Conveyor Chain
The Double Plus Chain, also known as a double-speed chain, is engineered for high-speed, low-noise, and high-load conveying applications. Its unique construction combines small-diameter and large-diameter rollers, allowing the chain to achieve 2.5 times the speed of standard chains while maintaining stability and low noise.
ਮੁੱਖ ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼ਤਾਵਾਂ
- High-Speed Conveying: The combination of small and large rollers enables the chain to multiply linear speed, providing smooth and efficient material handling.
- Low Noise Operation: Due to reduced chain surface speed and optimal roller interaction, the chain operates quietly, even when materials are stacked on pallets.
- High Load Capacity: Using steel rollers, the chain can withstand higher loads compared to plastic rollers, ensuring durability in demanding industrial conditions.
- Temperature Resistance: Capable of stable operation at temperatures up to 150°C, suitable for various production environments.
Technical Principle of Double-Speed Operation
The high-speed performance of the Double Plus Chain is derived from its roller geometry. Let:
ν = chain speed
r = small-diameter roller radius
R = large-diameter roller radius
V = pallet linear speed
When the chain moves at speed ν, the outer circumference of the small-diameter roller moves at ν. Because the small and large rollers rotate at the same angular velocity, the outer circumference of the large-diameter roller moves at (R/r)·ν.
The total pallet speed V is a combination of the chain speed and the velocity contribution from the large roller:
V=(R/r)⋅ν+ν=(R/r+1)⋅ν
With a typical radius ratio R/r ≈ 1.5, the conveying speed becomes:
V≈(1.5+1)⋅ν≈2.5⋅ν
This explains the “double speed” effect in Double Plus Chains, delivering faster and more efficient material transport.

ਅਕਸਰ ਪੁੱਛੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਸਵਾਲ
A Double Plus Chain is a double-speed conveyor chain designed for high-speed, stable, and precise material handling. It features a dual-roller structure to reduce friction and improve efficiency.
Double Plus Chains have advanced geometry, high-strength materials, and dual rollers, making them suitable for high-speed applications. Standard chains have simpler structures and are used for general low-speed transmission.
Double Plus Chains are typically made of high-strength alloy steel plates, hardened pins, and engineering plastic rollers such as POM or Nylon to ensure durability under high-speed operation.
They are widely used in automated assembly lines, packaging machinery, electronics manufacturing, step-control conveyors, and other high-speed, synchronized conveying applications.
Installation requires precise track alignment, correct roller orientation, proper tensioning, and sometimes professional tools or trained technicians. Maintenance involves regular inspection of rollers, alignment, and wear.
Yes, Double Plus Chains have higher initial costs due to specialized materials and precision design. However, they offer higher efficiency, longer service life, and reduced downtime, providing better overall value for high-speed applications.
