Robust energy chains and cables for the mining an bulk handling technology

In the area of bulk handling, equipment must function under tough and dirty conditions and work reliably even in bad weather. We offer polymer components for bulk handling which make that possible and are characterised by their robustness and long service life. These include energy chains, cables and hoses, which are used for example in bucket-wheel excavators, ship loaders, portal scrapers, wagon tipplers, conveyor belts, lifts, silos and funnels. The igus Project Engineering Team will assist you with the sizing, design, construction, project management, reconstruction, installation and commissioning on site.
