TH3 - first e-chain® with a hygienic design
- Easy to clean
- World's first polymer energy chain developed according to "Hygienic Design Guidelines"
- FDA compliant - with the blue coloured material typical of plastic elements in the food industry (consisting of igumid TH NB for the side parts and igumid TH G for the frames and mounting brackets)
- Design without bolted connections
- Good resistance to aggressive cleaning agents and chemicals
- Rounded edges mean that there are no dead spaces or resulting germ formation
- No "material on material"
- No bolted connections
- Operating temperature -40°C / +70°C
- Red Dot Award Winner 2017
Typical application areas: packaging machines, food and beverage/filling machines, wherever hygiene requirements are very strict and cables and hoses have to be guided safely
The TH3 series is suitable for the following types of application:
TH3.25: unsupported application ≤1.2m, hanging application 6.0m
TH3.45: unsupported application ≤1.5m, hanging application 6.0m
Energy chain selection for hygiene-sensitive areas
- What is hygienic design and what do the standards require?
- What are the requirements for cable guidance in food-contact machines?
- How did Schiwa, one of the world's leading manufacturers of slicing systems for the sausage, ham and cheese industry, meet these challenges?
Those and other topics await you in this new guide for food machinery designers.
What are the requirements of an energy chain for food contact?
Whether it is a question of taking over the guide function of an energy chain, ensuring a design that is as open as possible and therefore easy to clean, or using materials that may be used in direct contact with food. We incorporated all these requirements into the development and implemented them with the TH3. Last but not least, the materials used are in compliance with FDA and EU 10/2011 and are coloured blue for visual detection.
The central focus was on eliminating dead spaces or undercuts in the system. Corners that are difficult to clean are equally unwelcome. For this reason, all corners were rounded and all surfaces finished with a slight radius. The connections of the chain are implemented by press-fit excess dimensions and thus also prevent potential tattered corners. We have designed the energy chain in such a way that it can be cleaned as easily as possible. "Just rinse it with water and be done" was the goal.
Product range:
The energy chain TH3 is available with a choice between two inner heights and four inner widths for each of these heights. The up to 4 fixed interior segments are thus possible for both sizes. This means that cables and hoses can be laid completely separately from each other and yet have sufficient gaps for cleaning purposes.

Also available as ready-to-install complete system
We also offer the TH3 as a plug and play solution. We deliver precisely tailored and fully harnessed according to customer specifications with cable and connector. Ready for direct installation. During construction we stuck to the Hygienic Design Guidelines as a reference and thus created a very hygienic design. Especially the open structure, which is easy to clean, is of great interest to the meat processing industry and its benefits are fully exploited.
