The alternative to cable trolleys: energy chain systems

white paper energy chain vs festooning

white paper: Efficient energy supply systems for steelworks cranes

  • Advantages and disadvantages of energy chain systems and festoon systems for steel mill cranes
  • The most innovative solution for steel mill cranes
  • Technological outlook: Roller energy chain

What is the difference between energy chain systems and festoon systems?

Energy chain systems

Energy chain systems

  • Approx. 50 % less cable (52 m cable length with centre-fixed and approx. 100 m travel)
  • Approx. 800 mm system height
  • Approx. 10 % less steel construction (for the cable station)
Cable trolley systems

Cable trolley

  • Approx. 115 m cable (115 % travel length) for 100 m travel
  • Approx. 3,500 mm length for the " "cable loops", system height approx. 5,000 mm

For maximum service life with optimised design - P4HD.56R heavy-duty roller chain
