basic flizz® enclosed guide system

The basic flizz® at a glance

We have summarised five important features of the basic flizz® system for you here:

1. safe guidance: glide bar integrated in the profile

2. modular structure: easy assembly, compact design

3. protected: Weather-resistant stainless steel housing

4. quick assembly: openable along the outer radius

5. versatile mounting options

Typical industries and applications:
Sewage treatment plants, longitudinal scrapers, sand traps, grease traps, waste water treatment, galvanising plants, cranes, plant construction, sluices

Advantages of the system

Low-maintenance system for travel distances of up to 100 m
Protection against weather and contamination
Cost-effective, enclosed complete solution
Standardised and modular design
Simple installation thanks to an extender crossbar with various positioning options
Cable lengths up to 50% shorter than festooning, lower clearance height and no cable station
Cables are guided with a defined bend radius at all times and the tensile forces are absorbed by the e-chain®
No hooking, snagging or tearing of the cable possible

No slip ring contacts (e.g. as with motor drums)
Cable or hose can be easily retrofitted at any time
Reduce electricity costs - direct drive by scraper, no additional drives required (e.g. as with motorised drums)
Moving end arm (e.g. as a mechanical connection to the scraper carriage) optionally available
Available in 2 sizes, each also as HD version for even higher pulling/pushing forces
3500 v2 and 3500 HD optionally available as roller e-chain®, for travel distances of up to 200 m and more

Adjustable moving end arm

In addition to the floating moving end of the basic flizz® 2500 v2 and 2500 HD, igus® offers a modular and adjustable moving arm for easy installation on the existing customer structure.
Dimensions: approx. 700 mm wide, 1,000 mm high, square tube 60 x 60 mm
Material: AISI 304 stainless steel (304 SS / 204)

basic flizz® system

complete set directly in the shop
The basic flizz® is a system for mobile energy supply to scrapers, screens and other clarifiers and hydropower plants. A complete set consists of an energy chain, which is filled with the tried-and-tested chainflex® cable and guided safely and smoothly in a weatherproof stainless steel housing. With the developed moving arm and the smart plastic system EC.P for push-pull force detection, this set is a very good complete solution.

basic flizz in use

Wastewater treatment without failures at the Plauen sewage treatment plant
The basic flizz® system cable runs safely along the primary clarifier for 53 metres. The energy chain in the housing is suitable for long travel distances and ensures a long service life for the cables. They are guided with a defined bend radius at all times and the energy chain absorbs the resulting tensile forces. This prevents cable-related failures.

Further application examples

The basic flizz system in the primary clarifier has a length of 58 metres

Primary clarifier in Plauen

In the large sewage treatment plant in Plauen, our basic flizz system reliably supplies the scraper bridge with energy. It replaces a motorised cable reel, and since then the energy and signal supply of the primary clarifier has been running smoothly. The new system - a ready-to-install combination of energy chain and stainless steel enclosure - was specially developed to meet the requirement profile of sewage treatment plant operations.

To the application example

basic flizz system in the Bamberg sewage treatment plant

Sand trap basin of the Bamberg sewage treatment plant

Increasing process reliability, minimising maintenance effort, transmitting data in a sustainable manner - these are the requirements for the energy supply of the sand trap scraper in the sewage treatment plant in Bamberg. A reliable energy chain system from igus ensures the necessary functional safety.

Primary clarifier at the Plauen ZWAV sewage treatment plant

In the Plauen sewage treatment plant, the Zweckverband Wasser und Abwasser Vogtland (ZWAV) has replaced the motorised cable reel that used to supply a scraper with energy with the "basic flizz" system from igus. Since then, the energy and signal supply of the primary clarifier has been running smoothly.

Intelligent technology for every wastewater treatment plant

Wastewater treatment plants demand a lot from the components used: they are in continuous use, exposed to the weather and come into contact with liquids, grease or dirt. Our intelligent energy chain systems are designed to run reliably for as long as possible under all conceivable conditions.

24/7 condition monitoring in the sewage treatment plant

smart plastics in the sewage treatment plant

Wastewater treatment plants run 24/7, 365 days a year. The use of a Basic flizz® system is very suitable for most rectangular clarifiers. The advantage of the system is its modular design and the protection of the energy management system from wind and weather. The flizz® system can be installed either directly on the tank wall or on the floor along the tank.

Additional protection is provided by the smart plastic i.Sense EC.P system (EC = e-chain P = pullforce) for intelligent condition monitoring of the chain. This means that the system switches off proactively and automatically in the event of a fault to prevent total failure.
