Igus Sports Plastics reduces costs and extends service life for marine and offshore equipment At the SMM exhibition in Hamburg , Germany, German engineering plastics experts released products for the shipbuilding industry: low self-weight and sturdy towline, Germanischer Lloyd certified cables and corrosion-resistant sliding, joint and slewing ring bearings for a wide range of applications – Water or underwater applications for ships, offshore platforms, cranes or shipyards. Based on the principle of optimizing applications and reducing costs for customers, igus has launched a variety of sports plastic products at the SMM exhibition in Hamburg – plastic towline and cable for mobile power supply, engineering plastic bearings and so on. They are maintenance-free, lubrication-free, seawater resistant, chemical, corrosion resistant and rugged. Compared with traditional steel materials, it has stronger performance, lighter weight and cheaper price. Components can even operate at high performance in high temperatures and harsh environments. The high flexibility in construction and installation makes the igus plastic towline and bearings an integral part of the modern shipbuilding industry. Ships and offshore platforms rely on low failure rates and low maintenance power systems. Germanischer Lloyd (Germanischer Lloyd) has successfully launched dedicated to the ship and marine engineering field of mobile cable standards, to ensure reliability without the need for expensive certification costs. The 348 chain-specific chainflex cables from igus have been certified by GL . This is the world's first towline-specific cable to receive this certification, which has a long service life in dynamic applications. All certified cables are marine-compliant and stocked in stock and shipped within 48 hours. E4.350 large towline and rotary module: repeated verification in marine engineering The world's large plastic towline E4.350 has been repeatedly verified in practice. “Seven Waves,†the pipe-laying tower of the engineering ship is laid through the arms of the exhibition arm. In this application, the drag chain has an additional load of 120kg/m . Usually the extra load of E4.350 is up to 600kg/m , and the self-weight is much lighter than the steel towline. Similarly, cranes for deep-sea work vessels can be fitted with E4.350 towline. Another product is a rotating module that saves installation space and is tested. In Beihai, the Innovation engineering ship performs the construction of the wind farm. The tower crane is equipped with a double rotation module, which can achieve a rotation angle of 900 degrees. The angle of rotation through a special stacking design is almost unlimited.
