Drop forged chains have proven to be one of the most reliable ways of moving materials. They are highly resistant to wear and have high tensile strength. Thanks to many different flight designs, drop forged chains are well-suited to a wide variety of uses and applications. They are available in many different materials and with a variety of hardening options.

Drop forged chains are excellent for moving material that can easily cause blockages. Thanks to the design, the joints of drop forged chains stay clear of foreign material better than those of other chains in these kinds of environments. They are also perfect for many applications that involve subjecting the chain to extremely high temperatures. When using normal materials, temperatures of over 300 ºC can damage the chain, degrading its properties. However, with the right special materials and hardening methods, chains can be made resistant to temperatures of up to 800 ºC.
