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.

The conveyor belt conveys highly flammable sulphur and transports it to its destination in the harbour area.
Design and installation of a roller energy chain for outdoor use on a bauxite stockpile - an environment with extremely harsh ambient conditions.
This robot lifts heavy work pieces weighing up to 1.7 tons.
Tunnel construction is generally space constrained, thus requiring compact components.
The motors in this system need a large number of cables.
This new design permits a variety of multiple tunnel construction processing steps to be performed by one machine.
Heavy steel coils are transported here. The energy supply is recessed into the floor.
Automotive wheels are manufactured here using the gravity die casting process.
The sulfur fumes generated by the electrolysis are highly corrosive and corrode the customer's system. igus® products withstand these extreme conditions.
The igus® products used are designed for mobile applications in such a way that it features a long life and functions absolutely reliably.
Rugged energy chains are technically and economically the first choice in the construction of an extendable heavy load transporter.
e-chain® travel of 615 m exceeds the longest so far in the port of Singapore.
The next long distance with a plastic chain: 550 m.
Extreme stressing from tile dus in the building material industry.
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.
e-chains® for heavy-duty uses: Guiding of the supply cables of a quenching chamber, which moves toward the linked vacuum ovens.
Safe function despite extreme dirt accumulation: Parallel facility in the waste-to-energy plant
Safe application of e-chains® in waste incineration plant
Tunnel boring in defined sections with the assistance of an igus® e-chain system®, which guides the essential hose cables section by section.
Temperatures up to 1200°C or lashing blaze from the oven pose high demands on the plant.
Application of e-chains® in waste incineration plants: Strong dirt with high metal content and 300,000 t waste every year.
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.
Operation in severe dust. The energy chains are employed in trolley and crane, the crane drive arranged in the opposite direction.
High pressure hydraulic hoses + power cables. Extreme weather environment but this chain delivers and delivers.
e-chain system® for a coal unloader. Operating since three years without any problem.
Application of e-chain® systems in ship unloader
Tube handling plant provides an igus® plastic e-chain®. e-chain® ensures high stability and reliability in pipehandling.
Extremely difficult conditions: Dirt and dust, heavy filling, long travel and high temperatures. The system functions since 2003.
The e-chain® is located in the area of the rotating assembly in a bucket-wheel excavator.
The wagon makes a 180° turn and empties into the coal bunker. The energy chain secures the energy supply of the rotating device.
Heat, abrasive dirt, high atmospheric moisture: These are only some of the ambient conditions in a composting plant.
Energy chain system instead of cable drum - Smooth operation at the sewage treatment plant since 2000
Desde el 2001, los Cojinetes iglidur® G funcionan sin lubricante y sin señales de desgate notables en las condicionas extremas de empleo de las máquinas de construcción.
La fresadora de hormigón funciona desde hace tres años sin mantenimiento en las condiciones más rudas.
441 m travel: Reduction of tensile forces by about 75%.
The used igus® products prove themselves till today and drastically reduce the maintenance input.
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.
The driven boring machine produces extremevibrations and heavy soiling duringthe work process.
Flexible chainflex® CF9 control cables and various hoses in zig-zag application.
The energy chain employed in 2000 runs smoothly.
Outdoor cranes must withstand harsh weather conditions. Indoor cranes also work under alternating moisture influences with simultaneous extremely high temperatures.
