Tribo-optimized polymers for machines
Installation-friendly igus® systems for movements in machinery
Save costs with the latest technology with maintenance-free energy supply systems and plain bearings
High loads, precision and high temperatures are catchwords in the energy supply systems of machines for the processing of plastics. Plastic energy chains guide and protect the cables and hoses in blown film lines, injection molding machines or extruders. Plastic e-chains® make use of their advantages even in difficult fillings:
High additional loads possible
Application in high temperatures
Circular movements
Pivoting motions
Space saving
Use in dust, powder deposits and moisture
