Energy chain from Powermite
1st Quarter 2017
Other technologies
EKD Kolibri energy chain from Powermite has been delivering high quality, reliable, cost saving solutions for seamless operation of mobile equipment for more than three decades. It is uniquely engineered to prevent snags and premature breakdowns and assists in keeping operating costs to a minimum. It is extremely wear resistant and extends component life, reducing the need for spares. It also requires very little maintenance and can operate long term in extreme temperatures ranging between -20 and 100°C. It finds wide application in industries such as ports, harbours, materials handling, industrial and water treatment plants where the protection of cable, hose or hydraulic supply on a fixed plane over a required distance at a fixed or variable speed is needed on equipment such as cranes, milling and boring machines.
The comprehensive EKD range includes galvanised steel, stainless steel and carburised (hardened) steel.
The portfolio extends to a plastic range consisting of self-extinguishing, ATEX, anti-static, steel-coated and robotic bi-directional chain. In addition, Powermite offers chains designed for ultra-long distances. Known as the Marathon System, these chains use roller sets and are capable of maintaining speeds of up to 200 m/minute.
Powermite supplies three different types of EKD Kolibri energy chains to the African market, namely the one part link or flap-open link range, various bending radii, as well as chain with separate end-connectors so each link can be used as an end-connector. The patented opening delivers superior rigid torsion behaviour and handling, the flap-open bars ensure easy access for on-site installation of hoses or cables and the wide range of bending radii facilitates larger cables.
