Coal power

Coal Power

Coal facilities are at an advantage with smart plastics. The isense monitoring modules predict when maintenance will be necessary – especially beneficial for stacker reclaimers.

Nuclear power

Nuclear Power

e-chain® cable carriers are ideal for zigzag applications in nuclear power plants. They are durable enough to withstand heavy-duty environments and provide extended service life.

Gas power

Gas Power

e-chains® are 100% corrosion-resistant, lightweight and resistant to heavy loads. They are nearly impossible to break down, so they operate reliably in rig conditions.
