Bulk handling and mining technology

Bulk material handling systems operate in some of the harshest industrial environments, where machinery must withstand heavy loads, abrasive dust, moisture and continuous exposure to the elements. To ensure reliable performance under these demanding conditions, igus® provides a range of high‑performance polymer components engineered specifically for bulk handling and mining applications.

These materials are designed for exceptional durability, offering high wear resistance, corrosion‑free operation and long service life even in environments where traditional metal components quickly degrade. igus® solutions include energy chains, cables and hoses that deliver dependable performance in equipment such as bucket‑wheel excavators, ship loaders, portal scrapers, wagon tipplers, conveyor systems, lifts, silos and discharge funnels.

By combining robust polymer technology with maintenance‑free operation, igus® components help maximise uptime and ensure consistent functionality in the toughest operating conditions.
