Application examples
Coal silo
Lower weight and space requirements than alternative solutions for conveying coal.
Coal transport system
The motors in this system need a large number of cables.
Coal excavator
Long travel distances and all-weather use for the energy-supply on a coal excavator.
The longest travel with plastic energy chain
The complete length of the E-Chain®'s travel at 615m clearly exceeds the previous record holder at the Singapore harbor.
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.
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.
Coal-fired power plant
E-ChainSystem® for a coal unloader. Operating since three years without any problem.
