e-dispenser for shore-power supply

... saves costs and protects the environment ... e-dispenser

In 2017, we presented the e-chain dispenser, a complete solution for a semi-automated shore power supply. This was a project-specific special solution that had to be (at least partially) redesigned for each new application in the harbour.
Based on this idea and the experience we have gained from numerous projects in the field of shore power supply, we have redesigned the e-dispenser. The aim is to supply modular energy supply solutions for various shore power applications for medium and low voltage. The e-dispenser module can be used variably in combination with various systems (e.g. cranes, structures, mobile transfer systems). The e-dispenser module is supplied as a ready-to-install plug&play solution: Conveyor unit with triflex® R energy chain, chainflex® cable, connector, junction box, harnessing - all tested and with a 36-month guarantee.
We hereby offer a standard energy supply unit that is developed and designed as a complete solution, customised to the situation on site and the respective customer requirements. Also for other industrial sectors, such as mechanical engineering, robotics and welding applications, the e-dispenser module is an interesting energy supply solution. In all cases, users benefit from standardised - and therefore tried and tested and cost-effective - energy supply components.

Tech up

Modular and compact system
Modular system: ready-to-install triflex® R e-chain® cable carrier unit incl. cable & connector; optional: drive; optional: additional steel structure
Flexible in terms of extension length and installation options
Fail-safe due to cable protection using triflex® R energy chain TRC.125*
Defined minimum bending radius*

*Compared to other commercially available systems with an open multicore cable

Reduce costs

Single cores are cheaper than special multicore cables
Less space required by using single cores (due to smaller minimum bending radius*)
In the event of damage to a single core, the entire cable package does not have to be replaced*
Standard components instead of project-specific customised solutions
Time-saving, semi-automated connection of the power supply

sustainability

Supply via shore power, ship's diesel engine does not have to be used for power generation
No exhaust fumes and no noise on site
Have your energy chain or drag chain recycled at the end of its life cycle in the igus® Chainge® recycling programme. No matter which manufacturer.

Multicore cable with 3 x 95²
Minimum bending radius Ø 70 mm x 10 = 700 mm

* The bend radius inside the e-dispenser has been reduced from 700mm to 300mm (57%) and outside the system the cables are protected from kinking with the TRC (bend radius 185mm).
