These chains use combined technique for their manufacturing and consist of forged vertical links joined by welded horizontal links.
Vertical links are made by forging, making it possible to get a link with precise geometry and high strength. Horizontal links are made by the same method as the round links.
Flat type chains help to increase conveyor installation efficiency by 25–50% without pan line replacement. These chains are installed where round link chains of higher grade are of limited use and when it is necessary to increase per face output.
