Reliability for mechanical and biological sewage treatment

Sewage plants pose a challenge for the components in use: they are in continuous operation, exposed to all sorts of weather conditions and come into contact with fluids, microbes, grease and dirt. Our energy chain systems and cables are designed in such a way that they operate reliably as long as possible under all imaginable conditions. Whether in a longitudinal scraper at the primary clarifier or the sand and fat trap: with the customised solutions, downtime is avoided, operating costs are reduced and time-consuming maintenance is decreased. We offer cost-effective energy chains, cables and guide troughs specifically for sewage treatment, individually or as a ready-to-use complete system from stock.

Advantages of igus energy chains and cables:

Cost-effective
Save installation space and weight
Maintenance-free for 24/7 use
Fast delivery
Easy installation
Complete system or individual components with no minimum order quantity
Online service life determination
Low noise and low vibration

i.Sense EC.P

24/7 condition monitoring

Additional protection for the energy chain is provided by the smart plastics i.Sense EC.P system (EC=e-chain P=pull force), which continuously measures the e-chain's push/pull forces. If force thresholds are exceeded, the sensor reports the issue and switches off the system to prevent expensive damage to the system.

Tested in the test laboratory for use in the real world

Take a look at our test laboratory for chainflex® cables and e-chains®, where tests are run for ten billion cycles every year.

Tests in the cold chamber: here, both e-chains and chainflex cables are exposed to extreme conditions, so that they can meet even the most demanding requirements when the time comes.

Application examples of our customers

Air view of the sludge treatment plant

Light energy chain for large project: AMORAS

AMORAS is a sludge drainage plant according to newest ecological findings. Pumps are guided through the basin of the sludge treatment plant via a bridge. Through an igus energy chain the hoses of the pumps are moved on the bridge, so that the pumps can reach every area of the four basins measuring 120,000m³ each. To realise the project, the operator worked closely with igus from the planning to realisation.

flizz system in use at Aggerverband

Smooth cable guidance since 2000 at the sewage plant Waldbröl-Brenzingen

Originally, a cable drum was used to supply the longitudinal scraper in the secondary clarifier with energy. However, this led to a twisting movement of the cable, resulting in higher wear. Since chainflex cables and the flizz system with igus energy chain are being used, the plant operates without downtime - even at particularly low or high temperatures.

Scraper bridge in primary clarifier

Sewage treatment without downtime in the sewage plant Plauen

The Basic flizz® System guides cables safely along the primary clarifier on 53 metres. The energy chain in the housing is suitable for long travels and ensures a long service life of the cables. They are guided with a defined bend radius and the energy chain absorbs developing tensile forces. That way, cable-related downtimes are avoided.

basic flizz® at the long scrapers basin of the Wastewater Association Kempten

Long scrapers basin with more process reliability

The Wastewater Association Kempten has equipped the long scrapers basin of its sewage plant with a basic flizz® system with floating moving ends, so as to guide electric cables safely. The system guides the maintenance effort and at the same time ensures a long service life of the cables. On a travel measuring 65 metres, the energy chain contained in the system guides the cables.
