140 C° Magnetically detectable plastic e-chains ® ● For the food and tobacco industry. ● The material igumid DT is detected to the tiniest fragment all commonmetal detection systems and can therefore be selected automatically ● Particles as small as 1.0mm can be recognised for fragments passing at speeds of 20m/min.

That’s how in recent years they have built an extensive database of the tribological properties of polymers. This databasemakes it possible for us to assess better most of the applications in advance and provide our customer with confidence during use. Our calculations and analyses are based on the result of ongoing practical tests in our technical centre and our experience with gliding applications. The focal points of our tests are push/pull forces, friction values and abrasion under widely varying conditions and speeds, as well as factors such as dirt, weathering or impact and bumps. We test all system components such as cables, hoses, strain relief and other accessories, in addition to the e-chains ® or e-tubes and guide troughs. Technical environment The igumid G material, from which igus ® e-chains ® are made, possesses the following wide- ranging features to copewith a variety of environments: the ability to handle pressure and strenuous loads, abrasion resistance, sturdiness, stable behaviour at high and low temperatures, and suitability for outdoor use. The igus ® igumid compounds satisfy these, sometimes contradictory, requirements. Numerous application examples, from refrigerator blocks to steel mills, prove this. In extreme cases, we also o ff er modifications and other igus ® compounds as a solution. igus ® factory - automatic compounding and conveyor belt for igumid G
