Lubrication-free plastic energy chain operates fail-safe in steel mill

In this steel mill, a metal chain was replaced by a plastic energy chain that has been fail-safe since 2007, together with chainflex cables designed for moving applications.

Indoor and outdoor cranes

Outdoor cranes must withstand harsh weather conditions. Indoor cranes also work under alternating moisture influences with simultaneous extremely high temperatures.
Maanshan Maanshan steel and iron works: high temperatures, heavy loads, a lot of dust and high speed.
voestalpine Stahl Donawitz: high contamination while the rails that will be rolled are cleared from scale.
Slovakia, aluminium work. Has been operating for nine years without defects. Travel 62m, speed 0.3m/s.
Shagang Shagang, steel and iron works in China. High temperatures, high speed, a lot of dust.
