Durable plastic-energy chain successfully replaces festooning in waste crane

The energy chains are used over 116 metres of travel in waste processing.

Profile

  • What was needed: plastic-energy chain, supplied as a completely pre-assembled readychain® system, i.Sense Push/Pull Detection System to prevent failures
  • Requirements: High speeds (2.5 m/s) and fast accelerations (0.5 m/s2) were achieved in the cranes. In addition, a long travel of 116 m, a narrow bend radius and the presence of moisture and dust placed additional load on the energy supply.
  • Industry: Cranes
  • Success for the customer: By installing two e-chain® , the required cable length and cable cross-sections were significantly reduced, resulting in major savings. In addition, the service life increased to 7.5 years for the e-chain® and 10 years for the cable.
