Heavy plastics - applications in composting systems and waste incineration plants

40 years' experience

igus® is a specialist in the area of plastic research and can look back on 40 years of experience here. Specially developed high-performance plastics enable the use of igus® E-ChainSystems® in almost all application areas. Damp, dirt, chips, heat, cold, we have the solution for every requirement and do not use any steel or other metals in our E-Chain® materials. In an increasing number of heavy duty areas, steel systems are being successfully replaced by igus® plastic E-Chains® due to their exceptional suitability.
 
State your requirements and we fulfil them:

Corrosion-free

Cost-efficient, modular design

Long life at minimum maintenance costs

Resistance against dirt, chemicals and high temperatutres

Proven, tested material with igus® system garantee
