igus ® factory - automatic compounding and conveyor belt for igumid ® G

plastics for longer life - igus know-how in polymer materials
®
®
Each year, igus ® engineers develop more than 500 new plastic compounds and test igus ®
products in more than 15,000 experiments per year. That’s how in recent years they have built an
extensive database of the tribological properties of polymers. This database makes it possible for
us to assess better most of the applications in advance and provide our customer with confi dence
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

● Cold, heat The igumid ® G material, from which igus ® e-chains ® are made, possesses the following wide-
● Explosion risk areas ranging features to cope with a variety of environments: the ability to handle pressure and strenuous
● Vacuum loads, abrasion resistance, sturdiness, stable behaviour at high and low temperatures, and
● Hot swarf suitability for outdoor use. The igus ® igumid ® compounds satisfy these, sometimes contradictory,
● Dirt, dust requirements. Numerous application examples, from refrigerator blocks to steel mills, prove this.
● Cleanroom In extreme cases, we also off er modifi cations and other igus ® compounds as a solution.

Magnetically detectable plastic e-chains ®
● For the food and tobacco industry. ● The material igumid ® DT is detected to the
tiniest fragment all common metal 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.
