Durable components for plastic processing machines
When we talk about high‑performance plastic components for plastics‑processing machinery, we speak from direct experience. In our own production and monitoring systems—customised in‑house to meet demanding requirements—we rely on our e‑chains®, maintenance‑free plain and linear bearings and durable cables, often running continuously in three‑shift operation.
Across plastics processing, treatment, recycling and process‑automation equipment, igus® components deliver long‑lasting, lubrication‑free performance. They resist dust, dirt and moisture, ensuring reliable operation even in harsh environments. Their low weight also helps reduce overall machine mass and associated operating costs, including energy consumption.

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.
