Reduced friction

It features an upper running track installed for the full horizontal operating distance of the installation, combined with a lower parking track covering just 50% of the full length.

The drag chain can operate at speeds up to 5 m/sec and runs on multiple support roller sets engaging with the running tracks, eliminating all chain-on-chain contacts or sliding movements, so effectively reducing the friction wear and driving power requirements by 90% compared with conventional sliding drag chain mechanisms.
