Reliable energy supply systems, cables and bearing technology for extrusion lines

We offer a comprehensive product range consisting of (pre-fitted) energy chains, highly flexible cables and bearing technology solutions for extruders, extrusion systems for compounding, recycling systems, granulators, calibrating units, vulcanising systems and processing and downstream machines. In all moving parts of the extrusion line and the peripheral devices, they ensure a long service life and prevent production downtimes. As the products are completely lubrication-free, they are insensitive to dust and other contaminants in the system. Most of them are made of high-performance polymers. Their high strength and good abrasion properties allow a long service life even at extreme speeds and accelerations (such as in winding and cutting machines). They are also a lightweight and economical alternative to metallic bearings and cable guidance systems.

chainge recycling program for energy chains

Do your part to reduce plastic waste in industry:
Send us your discarded plastic energy chains instead of simply disposing of them with other products in industrial waste. The key is that we accept all energy chains, even those from other manufacturers. We then recycle them and reward your commitment with an igus voucher.
