Abstract: The technical field of engineering chains, specifically chains for the transport of raw material is provided, which purpose is to reduce the number of moving parts usually used in engineering chains with outboard wheels, without sacrificing optimal performance. To this end, it provides a straight plate chain mechanism with external and internal pitch, with a ratchet mechanism between the pitches, making the chain self-supporting and allowing it to only rotate in the internal direction when it has direct interaction with the sprocket, thus considerably reducing the possible catenaries.
