⛓️ Falcon Advanced Chain Technology is the Key to Reliable Feed Conveying
In any agricultural facility, the feed handling system is the lifeblood of the operation. If the conveyor stops, production stops. That is why the Falcon Conveyor Chain System was engineered to provide extreme flexibility and long-term durability, regardless of how complex your facility’s layout may be.
From tight bends to long-distance circuits, the Falcon system is sized specifically to the product being moved and the unique path it must travel. By focusing on “minimal mechanical stress,” this system ensures that your operation remains smooth, consistent, and—most importantly—uninterrupted.
🏗️ Chain vs. Rope: The Battle for Reliability
When choosing a tubular conveyor, one of the most important decisions is the medium used to move the material: wire rope or chain. While wire ropes are common, they often become the “weak link” in a supply chain. Wire ropes tend to weaken and deteriorate quickly due to the constant stress of bending and pulling. Over time, they lose their mechanical strength, leading to stretching (elongation) and a decrease in system safety.
The Falcon Chain Advantage
Unlike rope, Falcon Chains undergo specific heat treatments that provide:
- Extremely low elongation: The chain maintains its shape and tension even under heavy loads.
- High wear resistance: It is built to survive demanding, continuous-service environments.
- Consistent performance: Whether moving material across a short room or a massive warehouse, the chain remains stable over time.
🧪 Plastic Discs: Tailor-Made Performance
A chain is only as good as the discs that move the material. The Falcon System doesn’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Their engineering team selects and tests different polymers (high-strength plastics) based on the specific material you are conveying.
Falcon evaluates these materials to ensure they meet five critical standards:
- High Mechanical Resistance: To handle the weight and pressure of the product.
- Excellent Smoothness: To ensure the system flows without “jittering.”
- Low Friction: To reduce wear and tear on the tubes, which saves on energy costs.
- Ease of Cleaning: To prevent buildup and cross-contamination.
- Long-Term Stability: To ensure the discs don’t warp or degrade over years of use.
🧼 Integrated Cleaning Systems
Even the best hardware needs maintenance. To further increase the lifespan of the Feed System, Falcon offers integrated cleaning solutions that work while the conveyor is in motion.
By adding internal brushes, mechanical cleaners, or specialized washing sections, you can significantly reduce deposits and friction. A clean chain doesn’t just look better—it operates more smoothly and lasts years longer than a neglected one.
🛠️ One Philosophy, Infinite Configurations
At the heart of the Falcon Feed System is a dedicated engineering philosophy. Every dimension, material choice, and disc type is developed by their in-house technical office.
This allow Falcon to provide a truly customized solution. They don’t just sell you a chain; they size a system based on your specific product, the distance it needs to travel, the number of curves in your plant, and the intensity of your work cycle.
The Result: A conveyor system that is perfectly balanced for your specific needs, ensuring high performance with minimal maintenance.
