Durable components for plastic processing machines
When we refer to components made of high-performance plastics that are used in plastics processing machines, we know exactly what we are talking about.
In our production and monitoring systems, which we adjust to our requirements ourselves, we use our e-chains®, maintenance-free plain and linear bearings and cables, sometimes in three-shift operation.
In machines and systems for plastics processing, treatment, recycling, or for devices and components for process automation, igus® components are durable, lubrication-free, resistant to dust, dirt and moisture. Not only that they are also lightweight, reducing overall weight and follow-up costs, such as those for energy.

chainge recycling program for energy chains
Do your part to reduce plastic waste in industry:
Send us your discarded plastic energy chains instead of simply disposing of them with other products in industrial waste. The key is that we accept all energy chains, even those from other manufacturers. We then recycle the entries and reward your commitment with an igus® voucher.
More efficient production with the igus sprue picker
To make production more economical, we have developed the low-cost sprue picker: it removes and separates sprues directly from the injection-moulding machine, eliminating costs for subsequent separation and other manual tasks. Our brochure shows how the investment pays off in just a few months, and introduces other automated solutions.
