A parallel transfer is used when you need to end one chain pull and begin another. This transfer insures a smooth product transition by sliding the product from one chain to the other without the use of a deadplate. A parallel transfer may be used when the size of the product will not allow for an end to end transfer or to break up line back pressure for better line control. If product spacing is a concern, a parallel transfer may be used by incorporating a speed change between the infeed and discharge chains.
