Reliable energy supply systems, cables and bearing technology for extrusion lines

For extruders, compounding extrusion lines, recycling lines, granulators, calibrating units, vulcanising lines as well as processing and downstream machines, we offer a comprehensive product portfolio consisting of (pre-assembled) energy chains, highly flexible cables and bearing technology solutions. In all moving units of the extrusion line and the peripheral equipment, they ensure long service life and prevent production downtimes. Since the products operate completely lubrication-free, they are insensitive to dust and other contaminants in the line. The high strength and good abrasion properties of the products, most of which are made of high-performance polymers, enable long service life even at extreme speeds and accelerations (such as in winding and cutting machines). In addition, they offer themselves as lightweight and economical alternatives to metallic bearing and cable guidance systems.

Application highlight


chainge recycling program for energy chains

Do your part to reduce plastic waste in industry:
Send us your discarded plastic energy chains instead of simply disposing of them with other products in industrial waste. The key is that we accept all energy chains, even those from other manufacturers. We then recycle the entries and reward your commitment with an igus voucher.
