This prototype of an asphalting system uses a pick&place gantry for the batch-by-batch distribution of the material in order to save energy and make more precise dosing of the asphalt possible, which leads to lower production costs overall. The gantry is supplied with energy via two igus® e-chains® of the 410 series, and the cover flaps are supplied by six e-chains® of the 1400 series. The temperature-resistant Chainflex® cables CF34 and CF10 are in the e-chains®.
