TH3 energy chain in slicing systems

FDA-compliant TH3 energy chain proves itself in demanding Schiwa systems under heavy load. It is easy to clean, FDA-compliant, has no screw connections and is perfectly suited for aggressive cleaning agents and chemicals. The energy chains have been running for more than two years without any complaints

TH3 energy chain in the mushroom harvesting system

Harvest, cut and pack each mushroom by hand? This is costly, but still standard in the mushroom industry. So far. Because, Northern Ireland-based Axis Technology and Development is developing a semi-automatic harvesting system. For the cable management in the plant, the e-chains® of the TH3 series are used, which are suitable for the food sector. The energy supply systems are designed according to hygienic design guidelines and are resistant to aggressive cleaning agents and chemicals. They also operate reliably in high humidity, which is common in the mushroom industry.

product range:

The energy chain TH3 will be available in two inner heights and 4 inner widths each. This means that up to 4 fixed inner segments are possible in both sizes. This means that cables and hoses can be laid neatly separated from each other and still have sufficient clearance for cleaning.
