Change now: motion plastics® from igus® – simply last longer!
Corrosion-free, robust and reliable
igus® e-chains® are already in use today in tens of thousands of applications – They guide and protect cables and hoses on oil platforms, in steelworks and in other heavy machinery. They have a modular design and are therefore easy to install. They are media-friendly and suitable for large, heavy and stiff cables and hoses. Our e-chains® withstand hot chips with temperatures up to +850° C .
Many arguments speak for the use of energy chains of high-performance plastics for moving applications, particularly in the heavy-duty area.

Application examples for heavy duty
Energy chain in open-air storage facility for alumina production
Design and installation of a roller energy chain for outdoor use on a bauxite stockpile - an environment with extremely harsh ambient conditions.
Tunnel building crane
Tunnel construction is generally space constrained, thus requiring compact components.
Coal transport system
The motors in this system need a large number of cables.
Working platform
This new design permits a variety of multiple tunnel construction processing steps to be performed by one machine.
Transporter for steel coils
Heavy steel coils are transported here. The energy supply is recessed into the floor.
Casting implements for car rims
Automotive wheels are manufactured here using the gravity die casting process.
Zinc electrolysis, bathing halls
The sulfur fumes generated by the electrolysis are highly corrosive and corrode the customer's system. igus® products withstand these extreme conditions.
Rocket launch site
The igus® products used are designed for mobile applications in such a way that it features a long life and functions absolutely reliably.
Heavy load transporter
Rugged energy chains are technically and economically the first choice in the construction of an extendable heavy load transporter.
The longest travel with plastic energy chain
e-chain® travel of 615 m exceeds the longest so far in the port of Singapore.
Road construction
An asphalt finisher applies hot and cold bitumen mixtures. The e-chain® supplies the front area of the vehicle and is exposed to extreme dirt.
Heavy fillings
e-chains® for heavy-duty uses: Guiding of the supply cables of a quenching chamber, which moves toward the linked vacuum ovens.
Power plants
Safe function despite extreme dirt accumulation: Parallel facility in the waste-to-energy plant
Waste incineration plant
Safe application of e-chains® in waste incineration plant
Tunnel construction
Tunnel boring in defined sections with the assistance of an igus® e-chain system®, which guides the essential hose cables section by section.
Steel mills
Temperatures up to 1200°C or lashing blaze from the oven pose high demands on the plant.
Waste incineration plant
Application of e-chains® in waste incineration plants: Strong dirt with high metal content and 300,000 t waste every year.
Thermal application
igus® roller chain in power plant application: Strong dust, application of the chains in trolley and crane, the crane drive arranged in the opposite direction.
Coal-fired power plant
Operation in severe dust. The energy chains are employed in trolley and crane, the crane drive arranged in the opposite direction.
Offshore industry
High pressure hydraulic hoses + power cables. Extreme weather environment but this chain delivers and delivers.
Coal-fired power plant
e-chain system® for a coal unloader. Operating since three years without any problem.
Offshore industry
Tube handling plant provides an igus® plastic e-chain®. e-chain® ensures high stability and reliability in pipehandling.
Steel works
Extremely difficult conditions: Dirt and dust, heavy filling, long travel and high temperatures. The system functions since 2003.
Mining industry
The e-chain® is located in the area of the rotating assembly in a bucket-wheel excavator.
Lignite quarrying
The wagon makes a 180° turn and empties into the coal bunker. The energy chain secures the energy supply of the rotating device.
Composting plant
Heat, abrasive dirt, high atmospheric moisture: These are only some of the ambient conditions in a composting plant.
Sewage treatment plant
Energy chain system instead of cable drum - Smooth operation at the sewage treatment plant since 2000
Excavator
The plain bearings run without lubrication and without significant wear and tear
in the very harsh environmental conditions of construction machinery.
Concrete pipe cutter
Concrete cutting machine in extremely heavy-duty operation since three years free of maintenance.
Sewage treatment plant
The used igus® products prove themselves till today and drastically reduce the maintenance input.
Sewage treatment plant
The existing system with a motor cable drum proved to be not resistant enough in the difficult outdoor environmental conditions, and was replaced by a flizz® system.
Piling and drilling rigs
The driven boring machine produces extremevibrations and heavy soiling duringthe work process.
Dismantling tool
Flexible chainflex® CF9 control cables and various hoses in zig-zag application.
Maintenance-free operation for 8 years
The energy chain employed in 2000 runs smoothly.
Indoor and outdoor cranes
Outdoor cranes must withstand harsh weather conditions. Indoor cranes also work under alternating moisture influences with simultaneous extremely high temperatures.
