igus continues its quest to replace traditional lubricated linear guides with its drylin polymer technology, which improves machine reliability. The absence of lubrication means it contributes to safer, cleaner operation with no risk of contamination.

Advanced polymer manufacturer igus has developed a new cleanroom energy chain with an innovative guide system that allows for abrasion-resistant travel over distances of up to 30 metres.

igus has developed the C6 cleanroom energy chain with an e-spin guide system that allows abrasion-resistant cable travel over distances of up to 30 metres without generating the microparticles that standard energy chains produce.

Engineered polymers manufacturer, igus has developed a unique tribological dry coating for high-throughput packaging and manufacturing plants to reduce friction and wear.

South African Bulk Terminals has installed a 140 m opposing energy chain system from igus to improve the management of cables used in the operation of two of its massive ship loaders.

Polymer component specialist manufacturer, igus has developed a range of lubrication-free long-life knife edge rollers designed to improve the transfer of products between conveyor belts in high-speed production environments.

A simply engineered low-cost component used to reorient cans or containers has the potential to significantly boost production and offer unparalleled return on investment for packaging operations across southern Africa.

igus has expanded its international testing facilities to accommodate its increasing product portfolio and enable continuous improvement of its product quality.

A favourite South African beer which is to be found on many a beer connoisseur’s table is being brewed in Belgium with the assistance of lubricant-free polymer bearings that will not contaminate the beer.
