TH3 energy chain in slicing systems

FDA-compliant TH3 energy chain proves itself in demanding Schiwa systems under heavy load. It is easy to clean, FDA-compliant, has no screw connections and is ideally suited for aggressive cleaning agents and chemicals. The energy chains have been running for more than two years without any complaints

TH3 energy chain in the mushroom harvesting system

Harvest, cut, and pack each mushroom by hand? This is costly, but still standard in the mushroom industry. So far. Because, Northern Ireland-based Axis Technology and Development is developing a semi-automatic harvesting system. For the cable management in the plant, the e-chains® of the TH3 series are used, which are suitable for the food sector. The energy supply systems are designed according to hygienic design guidelines and are resistant to aggressive cleaning agents and chemicals. They also operate reliably in high humidity, which is common in the mushroom industry.

More information

The igus® Hygienic Design e-chain® is available with a choice between two inner heights and 4 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 still have sufficient gaps for cleaning purposes.
