  The transmission principle leverages the dual-speed chain’s ability to accelerate goods, enabling the cargo loading platform to move rapidly. By issuing appropriate operational commands, the platform can stop at designated locations, perform stacking operations, transfer goods, reposition them, or navigate through different routes. Since the goods are repeatedly transferred between channels, this system is seldom used in isolation. However, horizontal or straight-loop systems incorporate various types of machinery, such as lifters, stackers, and conveyors for replacement. As a result, self-flow conveyor systems are widely employed across diverse industries—including electronics, electrical engineering, and mechanical manufacturing. Common applications of dual-speed chains include: computer monitoring production lines, computer host production lines, laptop production lines, air-conditioner production lines, television production lines, microwave oven production lines, printer production lines, fax machine production lines, audio power amplifier production lines, and engine production lines. The conveyor belt width ranges from 250 to 900 mm, and customers can select the belt height according to their specific requirements—typically 750 mm, with optional sizes ranging from 500 to 1000 mm. The length of each conveyor section varies from 30 to 40 meters for single-section drives, and customers can choose the conveying speed within a range of 2 to 20 meters per minute. Chain types include: chain drive with roller transmission at constant speed—using double-pitch roller chains; and chain-driven differential-speed chains (with speeds 2.5 times or 3 times faster). Conveyor belt materials include: steel plates, engineering plastic plates, and other sheet materials. Structural materials: LV steel and carbon steel.
