The flat top Chain Advantage
1. High tensile strength for reduced downtime and fully optimised conveyor line layout.
2. Outstanding quality for superior product handling.
3. Low friction material for excellent performance in high speed applications.
4. Bevelled edges for product stability during multi-strand conveyance.
5.High friction inserts for unique product handling solutions.

Application Scenario

The main difference between plastic flat top chains and stainless steel flat top chains is the material and application scenario. 
 plastic flat top chain is mainly made of plastic, while stainless steel flat top chain is mainly made of stainless steel. This material difference directly affects their use characteristics and applicable environment. 
Plastic flat top chain is suitable for occasions with high hygiene requirements, light weight and low maintenance cost. Due to the lightweight and easy-to-clean characteristics of plastic material, it is often used in food processing, pharmaceutical and other industries to ensure the hygiene and safety of the products, while reducing operating costs. 
Stainless steel flat-top chains, on the other hand, are more suitable for environments where corrosion resistance is required. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel makes it widely used in chemical industry, environmental protection and other fields, which can resist the erosion of chemical substances and ensure the long-term stable operation of equipment.
In addition, plastic flat top chain and stainless steel flat top chain are also different in structure. Plastic flat top chains may be more flexible and easy to dismantle structurally due to the flexibility of their material, while stainless steel flat top chains may be more robust and durable. This structural difference is also determined by their material properties, making them suitable for different working environments and material handling needs.
