Double-layer heavy-duty multiplier chains: a spatial revolution and intelligent leap in manufacturing

V = Vc × (1 + D/d)
Formed when D = 2d3x speed effect--The measured data shows that when the chain runs at 7.5m/min, the speed of the work plate can reach 22.5m/min. This design not only reduces the wear and tear of the chain, but also solves the contradiction between high-speed conveying and precise positioning.
The challenge of the reloading scenario isPressure dispersion::

​Triple pressure shift structureThe support platform carries 60% gravity, the honeycomb hole support column absorbs vibration, and the spring-loaded guide column compensates for ±2mm of deformation;
​Nitriding of carbon steel rollers: Surface hardness up to HRC60, single point load capacity up to 2000kg, extended life of 400% over nylon rollers.


​personal viewpointDiameter difference design is essentially a mechanical "leverage effect" - using geometry for speed gain, while heavy-duty optimisation uses material science to fight against physical limits, combining the two to achieve the golden equilibrium of industrial conveying. The combination of the two creates the golden equilibrium of industrial transport.


​Space Revolution: Vertical Cycle Reconstructs Manufacturing Logic​
Double speed chain passes throughWork together at the top and bottomDisrupt traditional production line layouts:

​upper class: Performs assembly tasks with a fully loaded pallet at up to three times the speed of a chain;
​lower strata: Empty pallets areLift and return mechanismAutomatic return to the starting point, cylinder lift ±0.3mm in 0.4 seconds, servo motor driven 90° steering;
​dynamic caching technique: Corner pre-set buffer stations eliminate the risk of clogging.

Case validation of transformation in Guangdong home appliance enterprises:

​Site Utilisation Improvement 53%In addition, the 800m2 space releases 3 inspection stations;
​Pallet cycle time compressed from 8 minutes to 4.2 minutesThe daily production capacity jumped to 28,000 units.


​Industry Insights: In the Yangtze River Delta Industrial Zone (rent > 120 RMB/m2/month), this vertical circulation system reduces the payback period for renovation costs to 14 months - essentially a "spatial uprising" of the manufacturing industry against the cost of land.
