Durable components for machines for plastic and rubber processing

When we refer to components made of high-performance plastics that are used in plastics processing, we know exactly what we are talking about. In our production and monitoring systems, which we adjust to our requirements ourselves, we use our e-chains, maintenance-free plain and linear bearings and cables, sometimes in three-shift operation. In machines and systems for plastics processing, treatment or recycling, or for devices and components for process automation, igus components are durable, lubrication-free, resistant to dust, dirt and moisture, and lightweight, reducing overall weight and follow-up costs, such as those for energy.

Benefits of igus products:

  • Tested in igus 3-shift operation
  • Lubrication-free and insensitive to dust
  • Use in high temperatures
  • Low wear due to optimised igus polymers
  • Ready-to-install energy supply systems
  • Quick assembly
  • Minimise machine downtime
  • Weight and cost savings through lightweight design

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.
