Bulk Material Handling Solutions & Components | igus®

Reliability in harsh weather conditions

In the field of bulk material handling, bulk material systems must function reliably under rough and dirty working conditions and in harsh weather conditions. We offer plastic components for bulk material technology that can do just that and are particularly characterized by their resilience. This includes e-chains®, cables and hoses that are used, for example, in bucket wheel excavators, ship loaders, portal scrapers, wagon tippers, conveyor belts, aerial lifts, silos and hoppers.
