Safe cable guidance and lubrication-free bearing for wastewater treatment plants

Movement on circular and longitudinal clarifiers made maintenance-free

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, cables, bearings and thread solutions are designed to run without failure for as long as possible under all conceivable conditions. In the longitudinal scraper at the primary clarifier or at the grit and grease trap, customised cable guides help you avoid downtimes, lower operating costs and reduce time-consuming maintenance. Also, lubrication-free and maintenance-free bearing technology in the longitudinal scraper and lead screws in the shut-off valve ensure long-lasting, smooth operation in the wastewater treatment plant.

Solutions for wastewater treatment plants: the basic flizz system with chainflex cables

Weatherproof energy chains and durable chainflex cables with a TPE outer jacket ensure maximum efficiency and reliability. With low-maintenance operation and a robust, corrosion-resistant design, the system offers protection from sun, rain, frost and dirt.

Your benefits at a glance:

24/7 reliability, even under harsh conditions
Travels of up to 200m for safe energy and data guidance
Reduce maintenance costs with durable technology

Control cable CF9 in the online shopMore about the basic flizz system

Why should I use an e-chain as a cable guide on longitudinal clarifiers?

Low-maintenance system for travels of up to 100m:

No regular replacement of cables required
No slip ring: no replacement of contacts
Safe guidance: no tangling or damage of cables
Protection against weather and dirt thanks to compact housing

Cost savings:

Up to 50% shorter cable length compared to festooning
No separate drive as with the motorised cable reel, which saves material and energy

Find the right energy supply for every challenge

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. An energy chain from igus is used to move the pump hoses on the bridge so that the pumps can reach every area of the four 120,000m3 basins. For the realisation of the project, the operator worked closely with igus from planning to implementation.

Sewage treatment without downtime in the Plauen sewage plant

The basic flizz system reliably guides cables along the side of the primary clarifier over a distance of 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 downtime is avoided.

Safe energy supply at the secondary clarifier

At the Duisburg-Kasslerfeld wastewater treatment plant, a basic flizz system incl. telescopic moving arm for trouble-free operation of the longitudinal scraper on the secondary clarifier - even at very low or high temperatures. The enclosed energy chain guides the cable safely over a distance of 65 metres. Various systems had previously been tried, including cable drums, which led to a twisting movement of the cables and increased wear.

Intelligent sensor technology in wastewater treatment plant cable guidances

Increasing process reliability, minimising maintenance effort, transmitting data in a sustainable manner - these are the requirements for the energy supply of sewage treatment plants and systems in Bamberg And the whole thing is required 24/7, 365 days a year. This requires not only extremely tough and durable systems and components. But also smart technology.

Energy chain protects the energy and signal supply in snow and frost

Robust and weather-resistant: the Reinhalteverband Salzburger Ennstal wanted to redesign its cable guidance for the wastewater treatment plant so that it could remain in operation all year round.
At both tanks, the operator opted for basic flizz energy chains, which have been developed for many years of trouble-free operation.
