Heavy plastics - applications in power stations
40 years' experienceigus® 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
Low weight with high stability
TÜV certified
That is only a few points that we consider when selecting and designing your "heavy-duty system". See all the things for yourself that are possible in the heavy-duty area with igus® - plastics for longer life®.
Paddle-wheel equipment
This paddle-wheel stacker is used for the intermediate storage of bauxite outdoors and can be moved linearly over a distance of around 330 metres horizontally
Handling facility
Cole is transported in this handling facility over a distance of 200 meters.
Unloading station
Railway carriages are unloaded at this station in the Vanino coal-fired power station in Russia by means of a rotating drum structure.
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.
Bucket wheel reclaimer
This bucket wheel reclaimer also has to be equipped with a assembling of +/-180° which can move in a circle. The E-Chains® have to acced this movement.
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.
Power plants
Safe function despite extreme dirt accumulation: Parallel facility in the waste-to-energy plant
Thermal application
igus® roller chain in power plant application: Strong dust, application of the chains in trolley and crane, the crane drive arranged in the opposite direction.
Bucket wheel stacker
This contribution also concerns a circular application that has been designed with an igus® Energy Chain® with rearward bending radius.
